This event has been cancelled.

LIR’s favorite cardiovascular internist, Dr. Joel Furda, will host an informal discussion of some of the more common cardiovascular issues we face as we age, including high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and coronary artery disease. Dr. Furda will briefly introduce each entity, then take audience questions about that topic. There will be no need for the doctor to hurry on to the next patient as sometimes happens during an office visit, so this will be an excellent opportunity to get a detailed overview of the effects of these conditions on the body, the possible treatments, and maybe most important of all, the best preventive measures we can all take for our health. Medical Assistant students will also be available to do blood pressure checks.
