Dr. Valentin Fuster of The Mount Sinai Medical Center will deliver the 2012 Nahum J. Winer Lecture on “Transitions from Cardiovascular Disease to Health (2012-2020): The Challenge of Identifying Subclinical Disease.”
This presentation will cover the three main trends that are occurring in today’s cardiovascular field: the move from treating disease to promoting health; the integration of the heart and the brain in health and disease; and the new technology, specifically the emergence of imaging, genetics, and tissue regeneration. Dr. Fuster will discuss his own experiences and how these three transitions will take place over the next decade with subclinical disease as a main focus.
