About this listen
Heart failure has a long history in medicine. It began with the Greek physician Galen in 200 AD. In 1300, Ibn Nafis established the foundation upon which William Harvey made his revolutionary conclusion some 400 years later. Harvey noted that blood circulates continuously left to right through the lungs by the pumping or propelling action of the cardiac muscle, thus making the heart the center of the cardiovascular system.
Today, heart failure remains a major public health problem and a leading cause of death affecting 26 million people worldwide. On this episode, Dr. Feinberg explores heart failure management with two specialists: Dr. Ugo Egalum, a cardiologist, and Dr. Kyle Thompson, a cardiothoracic surgeon.
