How does a seemingly healthy man suddenly drop dead at 44? The Hidden Epidemic: Heart Disease in America examines America’s No. 1 killer. Several ACC members, including President Steve Nissen, M.D., F.A.C.C., Paula Johnson, M.D., F.A.C.C., and Peter Libby, M.D., F.A.C.C., appear in the PBS documentary, produced for National Heart Month. Tune in to PBS at 9 p.m. ET on Feb. 14. (Actually, check your local listings... you know how wacky PBS can be. Oh, and ACC is who I work for.)
