The Valley Today Podcast: The 411 on Heart Disease & Treatment

Dr. Edward Kofsky, cardiothoracic surgeon with Valley Health Cardiothoracic Surgeons, visits The Valley Today Podcast to discuss:

Heart disease and conditions related to coronary arteries, valves within the heart and conditions related to the actual muscle of the heart itself. While on the podcast Dr. Kofsky also discussed problems related to the electrical conduction systems of the heart, the parts of the heart that provide the pacing to the heart and to the transformation of the electrical signals that cause the heart muscle to have its own unique beating which causes the heart muscle to work as a sort of a synchronized pump.

In the second segment, Dr. Kofsky discusses treatment options and the advancements in technology that have impacted recovery times and a patient's ability to potentially avoid surgery completely.
