Ironman heart transplant recipient, renowned sports cardiologist duo to kick off Moritz Speaker Series

Two internationally known figures in sports cardiology will be speakers at the Inaugural Moritz Speaker Series 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, April 12, in the Lone Star Auditorium of the Maverick Activities Center.

Elmar Sprink of Germany returned to triathlon competition—running, cycling, and swimming—after a heart transplant in 2012. He has been called the fittest heart transplant patient in the world.

Sports cardiologist Dr. André La Gerche of Australia is credited with developing a novel cardiac MRI test that can examine the function of the left and right ventriculars—the main pumping chambers of the heart—of athletes and cardiac patients while they are performing maximal cycle exercise.

The series supported in part by a generous gift from the Moritz family to the College of Nursing and Health Innovation. The gift established the college’s first endowed faculty chair, held by Mark Haykowsky, an exercise physiology and rehabilitation medicine researcher, who joined the college last fall.
