VDF HealthCasts Continue

The Vascular Disease Foundation is proud to continue its audio HealthCasts that cover all aspects of vascular disease. Our guests are the leading scientific and clinical experts in their respective fields.

HealthCasts are hosted by Dr. David Meyerson and produced by Dr. Kerry Stewart. Dr. Meyerson is a cardiologist at Johns Hopkins and a scientific advisor to VDF. Dr. Stewart is a Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins and a former member of the VDF Board of Directors.

Here are the latest HealthCasts episodes and topics:

Episode 25: Thrombophilia. Dr. John R. Bartholomew, Section Head for Vascular Medicine in the Department of Vascular Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, a leading expert on thrombophilia, discusses what thrombophilia is, who is at risk, and who should be tested.

Episode 26: Focus on Blood Clots. Drs. Meyerson and Stewart discuss what you need to know about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of blood clots.

HealthCasts may be found on VDF's Web site at www.vdf.org/resources, iTunes, Feedburner, Yahoo, and other sites. Listening instructions and a complete description of each episode may be found on VDF's Web site. Our continued thanks go to Drs. Meyerson and Stewart for volunteering their time and energy to the creation and production of these informative HealthCasts.
