Please join us for conversations with our Women’s Heart Program Physicians on Friday, February 1st from 1:00pm to 1:30pm in the Perelman Heart Institute Atrium, 525 East 68th Street, 4th Floor Greenberg Pavilion.
Dr. Parag Goyal, an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine and the Division of Cardiology, is leading a newly established program for HFpEF (Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction). The HFpEF Program at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center is the first and only subspecialty program in all of New York dedicated to this unique subtype of heart failure.
Interview with Dr. Jim Cheung, an Associate Professor of Medicine and the Director of the Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and two children.
A technique to treat an irregular heartbeat that limits or eliminates patients’ exposure to radiation should be more widely adopted by physicians, Drs. Bruce Lerman and Jim Cheung argue in a new review article in Heart Rhythm. They posit that the primary obstacle to the procedure’s widespread use – physicians’ discomfort with a different visual tool – can be overcome with training and experience.
