Demystifying Medicine 2019 - Premature and Unusual Causes of Coronary Heart Disease
Demystifying Medicine 2019
Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death worldwide, comprising nearly 16 percent of all deaths annual. While many risk factors are known — aging, smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise — in some cases, the etiology often remains a mystery. More worrisome is the increasing presence of the disease in younger populations, with injury to the inner layer of a coronary artery sometimes manifesting itself as early as childhood.
For this Demystifying Medicine lecture, we bring you two speakers who are providing new insights into Coronary heart disease by studying unique patient populati...

Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Achieving Health Equity in Preventive Services (Day 2)
Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are responsible for seven of every 10 deaths among Americans each year and account for 75% of the nation ’ s health spending. Many of these chronic conditions can be prevented, delayed, or caught and treated early when patients work closely with their primary care providers. Despite the proven value of preventive services, such as various screenings, provider counseling, and preventive medications, implementation by providers and uptake by patients of these evidence-based practices varies. Demographic and geographic differences in the use of these services are...
