The Revolution in Heart Care with Eric Velazquez

Howie and Harlan are joined by Yale School of Medicine cardiologist Eric Velazquez to discuss how advances in treatment have transformed cardiovascular medicine and how technology could make care more accessible and equitable. Howie reports on a possible case of plague in Russia; Harlan reflects on how AI is changing the relationship between doctors and patients—and what that means for medical education.
