This week on Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Joel Kahn reviews the latest advances in treating aortic and mitral valve disease. While prevention remains the cornerstone of heart health, not all valve conditions can be avoided — and many require medical or surgical intervention beyond lifestyle changes. Dr. Kahn brings you up to date on the newest valve therapies and what they mean for patients.
Short topics this week include semaglutide's effects on the heart, the connection between gum disease and brain health, the media's role in shaping medical news, the healthiest antidote to sitting, stem cells for heart repair, the value of calcium scoring, and how fruits and vegetables can improve sleep.
