WHAT & WHO:
CRF’s next Mini-Med School for Women will cover the role stress plays in heart disease, and ways to manage stress for optimal health. The seminar is part of the CRF Women’s Heart Health Initiative which aims to reduce gender disparity in cardiovascular care through research and education. These Mini-Med School seminars feature leading experts who give New York area women the tools to take better care of themselves and their loved ones. The April 18th program includes the following presentations from experts in the field:
Changing the Mindset
Nisha Jhalani, MD
Director, CRF Women’s Heart Health Initiative
Assistant Professor of Medicine, Columbia University Medical Center
Stress and Your Heart
Erica Jones, MD
Director of the HeartHealth Program at Weill Cornell Medicine
Practicing Mindfulness

WHY:
Cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer of women, yet many are unaware of their own risk factors and how to manage them. 80% of heart disease and stroke events may be prevented by lifestyle changes and education (Source: AHA). Excessive stress can lead to a wide variety of health problems including heart disease. CRF wants to help women manage stress more effectively to improve the health of their minds and hearts.
