In this week's episode we sit down with Nazem Akoum, MD, MS, FACC, FAHA, FHRS.

Dr. Akoum is now the UW Medicine Heart Institute's Electrophysiology Section Chief. Before he made it to this incredible accomplishment, he was a child that grew up through the Lebanese Civil War and experienced loss of his brother with an aortic dissection from Marfan syndrome. As the director of our Atrial Fibrillation clinic, he will be helping lead the way into its future as our section chief.
