This session will be facilitated by our internist, Dr. Jeff Kerrie. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases take the lives of approx. 17.7 million people each year. Fortunately, there are many modifiable risk factors that can help reduce the risk and progression of these diseases. In this session we will discuss the physiology of the heart, explain how coronary artery disease develops, and review treatment options for this condition as well as ways to prevent its onset.
