Dear Friend
You may be interested in*a live web chat*we are hosting next Tuesday, September 28 on*Percutaneous Treatments for Valve Disease, from 12 – 1 pm (EST).*

Traditionally, when the heart’s valves become severely damaged (become regurgitant or stenotic), heart surgery is used to repair or replace the valve and*restore the heart’s normal function. Most patients are able to undergo surgery without difficulty. However, for people whose heart function is too severely compromised to withstand surgery, catheter-based percutaneous procedures (usually requiring only one or more small puncture sites through the skin) can provide excellent results.* There are multiple percutaneous valve*treatment options currently available and exciting new developments on the horizon.* Learn*about these percutaneous options*from Dr.*Murat Tuzcu, MD*and Dr. Samir Kapadia, M.D.,*Interventional Cardiologists*and Dr. Lars Svensson, M.D., Ph.D., Cardiothoracic Surgeon*at Cleveland Clinic.

You can go to http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/ChatReg/ to learn more and register for this chat.
