Cardiology Grand Rounds

 

Denton A. Cooley, M.D., center, founder and president of the Texas Heart Institute, presented Cardiology Grand Rounds Feb. 9 at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Cooley, who is clinical professor of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery at the Medical School, talks with Richard Smalling, M.D., Ph.D., right, the Jay Brent Sterling Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and director of clinical cardiology, and Rajiv Agarwal, M.D., chief clinical fellow of cardiology at the Medical School and the Memorial Hermann Heart and Vascular Institute. Agarwal recently won the Young Investigator’s Research Award from the North American Society for Cardiac Imaging. The award was based on his study showing that careful diagnostic imaging with MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) for a blockage in the kidney vessels revealed significant non-kidney related findings, including cancer.
