iPod® for the Heart
Arizona Heart Institute and Hospital is the First to Offer a Video Podcast Site for Cardiovascular Education
November 8, 2005
The Arizona Heart Institute and Hospital are joining the video iPod® and podcasting revolution by providing immediate access into the medical world, with cutting-edge information and research in cardiovascular disease, its prevention and treatment.
By subscribing to a free podcast feed through a podcast directory such as iTunes®, users will have access to up-to-date audio and video programming on medical information automatically downloaded to their iPod® or computer.
Arizona Heart becomes the first medical institute to utilize the new video podcasting capabilities to better educate and inform physicians and patients about the latest-breaking medical advancements, events, educational segments, documentaries, interviews, lectures and LIVE cases happening daily.
"The video iPod® is the TiVo® of the internet," said Dr. Grayson Wheatley, cardiovascular surgeon and creator of Arizona Heart’s www.cvmd.org website. "It’s news and education on-the-go and on-demand. Users worldwide have access to credible medical information from an established leader in cardiovascular care that would not otherwise be as readily available."
Through a centralized website, http://www.cvmd.org (cardiovascular medical doctor.org), patients, healthcare professionals, hospital administrators and scientists will gain unrestricted access to the highest quality multimedia educational materials relating to cardiovascular medicine and surgery.
Arizona Heart’s new iPod® media channel will allow specialists, peers and patients to tune-in to its audio and video library, dating back to 1983, when the Arizona Heart Institute broadcast a live telecast of the first open-heart surgery on prime time television (PBS) worldwide. For 35 years, Arizona Heart has been a world-renowned leader in cardiovascular research and education.
