New Season of Vital Signs on 6ABC Don't miss an all-new season of PENN Vital Signs, UPHS's half-hour medical television show, beginning Saturday, February 14 at 7 p.m. on 6ABC. The first episode focuses on a 50-year-old father of three with heart disease. Had-it not been for a routine test, the patient would never have known that his next breath could be his last due to two serious heart conditions--an aortic aneurysm and an abnormal valve. Watch PENN Vital Signs and get a bird's eye view as a team of PENN specialists performs a unique procedure that is offered at very few places in the country and takes the patient to the brink of death in order to save his life. For your health or the health of someone you love, tune in to PENN Vital Signs on 6ABC. You may also log on to http://pennhealth.com and chat online with some of the doctors from the show for two hours immediately following the program. For more information and/or to order a tape of the show, please call 1-800-789-PENN. --UPHS
