Matters of the Heart

February is National Heart Month and the perfect time to learn how to protect your heart from disease and strengthen your cardiovascular system. Dr. Anne Williams will provide an overview of various types of heart disease, their associated risk factors, commonly used medications and explain laboratory and imaging methods used to assess risk so that you can talk to your doctor as an informed partner. She will also talk about heart-focused diets such as the Mediterranean Diet, DASH, the Dean Ornish protocol, as well as research on nutrition, herbal and lifestyle options for reducing risk and even reversing existing disease. Listen to your heart and join Anne for this fascinating class.
