- Hi, I'm David Ping
and I'm the chair of the
Eastern States Region Affiliate
of the Heart Association and
I'm here at Sessions today,
and it's really important to be here
because this is the largest
gathering of scientists
who focus on cardiac and stroke care.
The findings that they
present are the future
of heart and brain care.
They're developing new cures,
new ways to prevent
heart disease and stroke,
and new treatments,
and all of these things
come out of the work
that we see here at Sessions.
And I'm so excited to be here.
This is the first year
that I've been able to come
to Sessions and, for me,
it's really important
because I have a stent,
and that stent was
developed by AHA research,
and so I really wanna hear and see
what the latest research is,
so that I can make sure that
my friends, my relatives
that have heart disease
or have heart disease in their family
can know all about what's going on
with the latest research
in the Heart Association.
And I just think it's so inspiring
to see all these scientists here
and to hear what they've got to say.
I'm always amazed at
the work that gets done,
and in hearing about some of the things
that have been done in the past
and some of the things that we're doing
with the Brave New Idea is so inspiring
to think that one day our smart watches
will be able to measure
all of our functions
that are critical for heart disease.
So, I'm really looking forward to hearing
what they have to say today
and I'm looking forward
to the rest of Sessions.
