Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL): Cardiovascular Health Promotion in Low- and Middle Income Countries
Cardiovascular disease is the world ’ s leading cause of death. Resolve to Save Lives is a non-profit global public health organization that works with partners to reduce heart attack and stroke in the low- and middle-income countries that bear the majority of disease burden. Resolve is working to increase the proportion of people whose blood pressure is controlled in low- and middle-income countries from 10% to 50%, reduce global dietary intake of salt by 30%, and make food safer by 100% elimination of artificial trans fat. Started in 2017, Resolve and its partners have enrolled nearly 20 million people in hypertension ...

Genes, lifestyle, and risk for heart attack
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Kathiresan leverages human genetics to understand the root causes of heart attack and to improve preventive cardiac care. Among his scientific contributions, Dr. Kathiresan has helped highlight new biological mechanisms underlying heart attack, discovered mutations that protect against heart attack risk, and developed a genetic test for personalized heart attack prevention.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/wals/2018-2019Air date: 5/22/2019 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

Emotional Factors and Cardiovascular Disease: Differences by Sex and Age
BSSR Lecture Series
There is growing recognition of the importance of emotional stress as a potentially modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Emotional stress potentially contributes to CVD in multiple ways, from influencing CVD risk factors, to affecting the development of atherosclerosis, to triggering acute CVD events, to impairing recovery, prognosis and quality of life of patients who have already developed the disease. Emerging evidence suggests that young individuals, young women in particular, are especially vulnerable to the adverse effects of stress on the cardiovascular system, which may resu...

Coated Aspirin and Your Heart
Take a baby aspirin a day to reduce your risk of heart attack. Many of us have heard that. But here's some information from Mayo Clinic you might not have heard. It has to do with the coating on aspirin that helps reduce stomach upset. (Source: Mayo Clinic - Medical Edge Video)

Hidden Heart Attack
A heart attack at age 35. That's not supposed to happen. The woman you're about to meet suffered what's called a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or SCAD. It's a condition that's hard to diagnose and there's very little information available about it. Experts at Mayo Clinic have results from studies aimed at learning more about this life-threatening condition. (Source: Mayo Clinic - Medical Edge Video)

Genotype to mechanism to therapy: molecular insights in rare genetic vascular diseases.
Director's Seminar Series
Injury and remodeling of blood vessels occur as a direct result of cardiovascular disease, as in atherosclerosis or myocardial infarction, and also in response to therapeutic interventions, including stenting and vein graft bypasses. Dr. Boehm studies vascular injury and remodeling in order to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and to develop new treatment methods. His laboratory develops animal models of disease and derives cellular models from patients with rare and even undiagnosed cardiovascular diseases.Air date: 5/3/2013 12:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
