Dr. Piero Anversa, director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute at New York Medical College, will present the inaugural Reynolds Visiting Professorship Lecture on December 3, 2003 at 8:00am in Cader Room 508. The title of Dr. Anversa’s lecture will be “The Aging Process of the Heart.” All cardiology faculty and fellows are encouraged to attend. Piero Anversa, M.D. is a well-known cardiovascular researcher who has made landmark discoveries in the pathophysiological mechanisms of heart disease. Dr. Anversa’s work on heart failure is reshaping our understanding of myocardial growth and death by providing evidence that the heart has its own adult stem cells capable of regenerating heart muscle tissue following a coronary event.
