Cardiovascular health is often seen as something only older people need to think about. In fact, it is crucial at all stages of life. And early detection and intervention for cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, can support people to live healthier lives for longer. We’re thrilled to see the second edition of the conference ‘Prevention & Intervention – where preventative cardiology meets interventional cardiology’ take place this weekend in Warsaw, Poland, with course director and HFPN member Izabella Uchmanowicz taking part in a panel discussion on putting patients at the centre of the cardiovascular pathway. This year’s conference theme is ‘Lifetime management of cardiovascular risk and disease – from the young to the elderly’. #cardiovascular #heartfailure #earlyintervention Find out more: Prevention & Intervention – where preventive cardiology meets interventional cardiology | Conference | October 11-13, 2024 | Warsaw, Poland (prev-interv.com)

Vic Gatto shares everything about his #hearthealth journey. Because he advocated for next level testing, he and his doctors put Vic in the best position to live a long life. Yes, the access and ability to afford good care plays a significant role. Every patient journey is different. But if you don’t start with advocating for your health by staying on a regular schedule of preventative screening and testing, you have the potential of being on a harder path to survival following a difficult diagnosis. Get your regular #mammogram, do #selfbreast exams, get your #colonoscopy. Pay for a calcium scan of your heart which costs $50-100 out of pocket. Ask for the better cholesterol testing. Advocate for your health. Be informed about what’s available. Listen to this podcast. It might save your life too. Early detection leads to better #patient #outcomes. #prevention #advocacy #testing

Excited for the latest Health:Further guest show with Dr. John Riddick. In this episode, we dive into heart health screening and lab results using my journey of learning that I have advanced heart disease. By using my personal data and screening results, we are able to go into specific details about the lab and imaging results as well as how Dr. Riddick advised me to modify my treatment protocols. We explore preventive cardiology, the importance of cholesterol management, and the role of advanced screening techniques like CT angiograms in detecting and managing heart disease. Dr. Riddick shares insights from his extensive experience, offering practical advice on maintaining heart health, understanding the impact of family history, and the benefits of a proactive approach to cardiovascular care. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in heart health and preventive medicine. I hope this episode can serve as a valuable educational resource for anyone concerned about their heart disease or wondering about how to navigate their screening results. Please check out the episode and share with family or friends interested in learning from my journey. https://hubs.la/Q02CG3N_0

Cardiology Milestones Throughout History (Part 8) Development of Beta Blockers (1960s) Sir James Black, MD, developed beta blockers, a class of drugs that revolutionized the treatment of hypertension and heart disease, earning him the Nobel Prize in 1988. A beta blocker is a type of medication that reduces the heart’s workload by blocking the effects of adrenaline, slowing the heart rate, and lowering blood pressure. It is crucial in cardiac care for treating conditions like high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and heart failure, as it helps prevent strain on the heart and reduces the risk of heart attacks. Cardiology, the study of the heart and its functions, has a rich history with numerous milestones that have significantly advanced our understanding and treatment of heart diseases. Over the next several few weeks, we’re going to highlight some interesting historical facts about key cardiology milestones. #Cardiology #Cardiologist #Heart  #Cardiac #HeartHealthy #HeartHealth  #CardiovascularHealth #BeatHeartDisease   #medicine #doctor #healthcare #HealthyHeart  #HeartCare #HeartHealthyLiving   #HeartPatient   #HeartDoctor #MedicalHistory   #CardiologyHistory #BetaBlockers  Heart & Stroke

We found that octogenarians patients with acute type A aortic dissection, a simple and quick procedure may be favorable with less mortality. Check out the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/dNPx7wwa

American College of Cardiology 74th Annual Conference in Atlanta gets underway! https://lnkd.in/e-ig89Ac  📈With so many unmet needs in cardiovascular diseases and heart failure, sharing the latest advances in research and innovation is critical.  🏥At AstraZeneca we are dedicated to transforming the treatment landscape across these disease areas. We are investigating novel treatment modalities that aim to slow progression of disease where unmet need is the greatest. Our areas of development include cardiomyopathy and hypertension – disease areas where we know patient outcomes can be greatly improved.  More about our research strategy in cardiovascular diseases (including heart failure) can also be found at  https://lnkd.in/eTRBt7zs #CardiovascularDisease #HeartFailure #ACC24 #WhatScienceCanDo
