Hi, everybody.

0:16.4

This is John Mandrola from the Heart.org Medscape Cardology, and this is this week in cardiology for June 20th,

0:24.1

20, 2025. This week, I'll take a big deep dive into CornerCTA, FFRCCT. It was an eye-opener

0:34.7

I have to say. Also, I would discuss a sobering report on the new Evok tricuspid valve.
