Preventing Cardiovascular Disease on Thursday June 10, 2021 at 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

After decades of steady decline, the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD) has risen over the past few years, according to the American Heart Association.  We’ll look at slides showing blood vessels damaged by high blood pressure and cholesterol and discuss the latest research also linking chronic inflammation and diabetes to an increased risk of CVD. The good news is that an estimated 80% of all CVD cases — heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, and stroke — can be prevented. Join us to take a fresh look at specific lifestyle choices that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
