Get Heart Smart! 2009

Fifth Annual Community Cardiovascular Disease Symposium Took Place on February 7, 2009

Physicians from the Sections of Cardiology updated members of the general public on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disorders during this free and very well-attended Saturday symposium.

The following are a list of the talks which took this year. Original PowerPoint presentations will be posted after the event. This year we expanded the involvement of "survivors" of cardiovascular disease in several mini-sessions in which individuals who have successfully dealt with the disease shared their strategies.
