Dr. Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, shares a powerful warning about vaping after treating young patients with life-threatening lung injuries—some requiring ECMO. Though often seen as safer than smoking, vaping delivers harmful chemicals, and its long-term risks remain unknown. Dr. London debunks common pro-vaping arguments and emphasizes that quitting takes personal commitment and proven methods like nicotine replacement therapy. He calls vaping a growing public health crisis and urges education to help people make informed choices.

In today's podcast episode, we discuss the basics of a treatment plan and how protocols are established. We walk through the current treatment modalities for coronary artery disease (CAD), valvular disease (aortic stenosis and regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation), and electrical abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation (Afib). My goal with this podcast is to give you a general understanding, so you don't have to hear about these treatment processes for the first time in a doctor's office.
