Heart Disease Epidemic Among Indians by Dr. Enas / Waltham
Did you know that Indians have a 3-4 times higher risk of heart disease as compared to the general US population? About 50% of all heart attacks among Indian men occur under the age of 55 and 25% under the age of 40. Unfortunately, Indian women also share these high rates of heart disease.
Heart disease among Indians tends to be severe, malignant and diffuse (spread along an artery instead of in just one or two spots). This means that, despite repeat surgeries, the blockages of arteries can often return and cause death.
Learn through this seminar; how you and your family working with your physician can prevent, manage, and even reverse this dangerous but treatable killer disease.
Dr. Enas A Enas, a world-renowned cardiologist will discuss the findings of over 25 years of patient care and research into heart disease among Indians. Dr. Sudesh Kannan will share secrets of lifestyle changes that have helped him go from a couch-potato to a marathon runner.
