This week’s Cardiocast is devoted entirely to Card Talk with cardiologist brothers Jim and Jerry Dwyer. They welcome two structural interventionalists at the Structural Heart and Valve Center at Emory Healthcare, Kendra J. Grubb, MD, and Isida Byku, MD. Both followed a unique track, training in both cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology and practicing in the fast-moving field of structural heart disease.
