Today's Guest: Gabriel Steg

Robert Califf, MD: Hello. I'm Rob Califf. I want to welcome you to a new edition of Life and Times of Leading Cardiologists. As all of you know, this is a show where I learn a lot by talking to people whom I respect greatly. But we also hope to give inspiration to others about how to become excellent in cardiology and in life in general.

I'm here at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting, and I'm really pleased to have Gabriel Steg with me. He's a colleague and a very excellent interventional cardiologist in clinical trials and a highly respected person in the cardiovascular community. Gabriel just told me that at the ESC, they were expecting a smaller number of attendees than usual, but they've actually exceeded last year. They've run out of programs. This is really a major meeting. So welcome to the show.

Philippe Gabriel Steg, MD: Thank you.

Origins: Overcoming the Past

Dr. Califf:I would like to start out with origins. And I'll approach this as an American. I think France, to most Americans, is a bit of a mysterious place. George Bush could never really understand it. And we have a lot of interesting things that we say about it.
