E38: Heribert Schunkert
Notas del episodio
In this episode of AtheroTalk we are privileged to host Prof. Heribert Schunkert, the recipient of the 2026 EAS Anitschkow Prize - the Society’s most prestigious award - for his pioneering work in the genetics of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
By listening to Prof. Schunkert’s inspiring academic journey and thought-provoking insights regarding the future of cardiovascular disease management, this discussion makes us wonder about how we can include polygenic risk scores in daily clinical practice, how we can improve the care of our patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and about how we can overcome the biggest challenges in cardiometabolic medicine.
