Highlights
Dr. Scott Lim profile video
[MUSIC PLAYING] SCOTT LIM: My name is Scott Lim. I'm a cardiologist at the University of Virginia. And I am the medical director of our advanced cardiac valve center. When I first came to the University of Virginia a little over a decade ago, for people with a certain type a heart valve problem, mitral stenosis, narrowing of the valve, directing the flow of blood from the lungs to the heart, there was nobody else in this state that was providing some of the newer transcatheter therapies for that. That's actually something that I had trained on a number of years ago. And so I found that I had an opportunity to offer something to our patients here, a less invasive way to fix people's heart valves that either were leaky or were too narrow. That's one of the things that's very gratifying about being here at the University of Virginia. It's given us the opportunity to be involved in clinical research in these newer procedures, newer technologies that we find are really helping our patients.
