Charney Division of Cardiology, this patient education initiative focuses on helping you take control of your heart health and work toward a healthier future.

Presented via webinar, the Heart Health Lecture Series covers topics such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, obesity, and stress. The series also highlights the latest information related to the conditions that increase cardiovascular disease risk such as diabetes, autoimmune conditions, thrombotic disorders, and high blood pressure. Our expert speakers present the latest clinical information on scientific research, offer suggestions for better health, and provide dedicated time to answer questions from webinar participants.

Heart-Healthy Diet: How to Adapt the Dietary Guidelines for Heart Disease

This presentation is given in recognition of National Nutrition Month.

The federal government’s latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans highlight whole, minimally processed foods, but the recommendations are not one-size-fits-all. If you have cardiovascular disease or other chronic health concerns, you may need to adapt the general recommendations to your specific needs, ideally in partnership with your care team.

Join NYU Langone dietitian nutritionist Nicole Lund, MPH, RDN, as she breaks down the new guidelines in clear, practical terms and explores how they apply to heart health.  NYU Langone cardiologist Dennis A. Goodman, MD, will moderate the session and lead a live audience Q and A, giving you the opportunity to ask your own questions.
