Put Your Heart in the Right Place Seminars

Women and Heart Disease: Celebrate our Differences

Just as culinary tastes result from family traditions, cultural backgrounds, and regional preferences, so are individual health profiles. From risk factors, to appropriate screenings, from family history to cultural beliefs, this seminar will encourage you to create your own personal recipe for better health. Banner Heart cardiologist, Dr. Zelalem Yilma, will explore how certain foods and lifestyles can impact your overall health and wellbeing.  Have you ever wanted to update an old family recipe to make it more figure friendly but weren’t sure how? Our heart healthy chef and dietitian will teach you new ways to modify some of your all time favorite comfort foods.

Are You a Risk Taker? PAD: Learn the HEART Facts

Peripheral Arterial Disease (or PAD) is a common yet serious disease that occurs when extra cholesterol and fat circulating in the blood collects on the walls of the arteries that supply blood to your arms and legs. Left unchecked, PAD and other cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes, and more can lead to health consequences. Having PAD increases your chance of dying from a heart attack or stroke by 33%.
