Welcome to episode one of B-Secur’s Health at Heart podcast with your host, Adrian Condon.

Joining our CTO, Adrian on the first episode, which is released to mark World Heart Day, is highly respected cardiologist, Dr David Steinhaus.

Dr Steinhaus served for 20 years in cardiology. He practiced at Kansas City, Missouri and St. Luke’s Hospital Mid America Heart Institute, where he was chief of cardiology. He then moved to Medtronic, one of the largest medical device companies in the world, where he served for 14 years as medical director and vice president.

In the first episode Adrian discusses the advancements in heart health technology with Dr Steinhaus and examines where B-Secur can play a key role in improving patient outcomes.

In the podcast the respected cardiologist recalls the transformation he has witnessed in heart health technology during his extensive career and what he believes the future in this field will hold.

Created by the World Heart Federation, World Heart Day (Sept 29) is held each year to inform people around the globe that CVD, including heart disease and stroke, is the world’s number one killer, and highlights the actions that individuals can take to prevent and control CVD.

While modern medicine and advancements in medical technology are attempting to reduce the yearly death toll, World Heart Day also seeks to educate people that by controlling risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity, at least 80% of premature deaths from heart disease and stroke can be avoided.
