Cathleen Lane PUBLISHER San Antonio ............................................... clane@mdnews.com 210-859-1232 ............................................... @MDNewsSanAntTX Hello, and welcome to the latest issue of MD News San Antonio. Each year, the list of treatment options for patients with heart problems becomes longer and more sophisticated. Finding the right treatment means finding the right providers — a choice that also is becoming more complex. In our cover story, we profile University Health System's Heart and Vascular Institute, a comprehensive program where cardiologists, surgeons and highly trained sta˜ work together to find the best course of treatment, in keeping with the patient's own goals and desires. Our special clinical section continues with the cardiac theme, and here we take a closer look at some of the programs and services in the San Antonio area where practitioners continue to make great strides in the care of patients facing challenging health issues. Also in this issue, we examine how tax changes for 2018 may impact your bottom line, and we take a closer look at carotid artery disease treatment and cartilage transplantation. You can leverage MD News' multiple platforms to share information about your organiza- tion's expert providers and advanced technologies with the region's referring physicians.
