Sandcastle Heath Seminar: Heart Health
Friday, Jan 29, 2021 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
There are so many recommendations out there regarding heart health, it’s hard to know where to begin. Recent studies have concluded that inflammation is really the culprit. This seminar will discuss inflammation and heart disease, how cardiovascular (CV) inflammation leads to heart attack and stroke, how to test and detect CV inflammation, prediabetes and CV inflammation, and whether we can delay atherosclerosis and CV inflammation.
Join Dr. Ford Brewer and Dr. Janice Derrickson as they take a comprehensive look at the symptoms, causes and treatments of this condition in their second Sandcastle virtual health seminar.
