AB Stephen MacMahon, MD, DSc, George Institute for Global Health at the University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia, presented the Lewis A. Conner Memorial Lecture. The theme of Prof. MacMahon's presentation was frugal innovation, an approach he believes will be essential for the future of cardiovascular medicine in the 21st century. “Despite the many innovations in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease, the benefits have been felt by few of the many individuals that are actually in need,” said Prof. MacMahon.
