CardioNerds (Amit Goyal, Daniel Ambinder) and Dr. Mark Belkin, (CardioNerds Correspondent) and Dr. Shirlene Obuobi (CardioNerds Ambassador) from University of Chicago are honored to bring to you the Dr. Milton Packer perspective on the evolution of the neurohormonal hypothesis as part of The CardioNerds Heart Success Series.

In part 6 Dr. Packer reflects on a conversation he had with Dr. Eugene Braunwald about mentorship and its role in immortality. This episode is particularly meaningful to the CardioNerds team as mentorship and sponsorship is such an important part of the CardioNerds mission.
