Heart Health Lecture Series

NYU Langone’s Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease hosts free educational events throughout the year through our Heart Health Lecture Series. Launched in 2015 under the direction of cardiologist Dennis A. Goodman, MD, director of integrative medicine at NYU Langone’s Leon H. 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.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Patient Care: From Diagnosis to Recovery

Can AI predict my chances of having a heart attack? Is it safe to use AI tools to interpret test results, such as an EKG? Is my privacy at risk when AI tools are used in patient care?

The medical field has been exploring the use of AI for more than 50 years. Recently, with the emergence of chatbots and generative AI tools, there has been a surge in interest and progress in harnessing AI in healthcare to help both patients and physicians.

Join NYU Langone physician-researcher Devin Mann, MD, as he discusses the evolving role of AI in healthcare. Dr. Mann will provide updates from the NYU Langone HiBRID (Healthcare Innovations Bridging Research Informatics and Design) Lab, where researchers are developing, testing, and implementing innovative AI tools. The webinar will be moderated by NYU Langone cardiologist Dennis A. Goodman, MD, and will include a live Q&A session.

Exercise for All Ages

I’m an athlete with a heart condition. Do I need specialized monitoring?  If I’m new to exercise, should I consult my doctor before starting an exercise program?

Athletes of all ages and fitness levels will uncover the who, what, where, when, why, and how of exercise! Join Sean P. Heffron, MD, an NYU Langone cardiologist with expertise in exercise physiology, for an engaging session on the power of exercise as medicine.

Dr. Heffron will offer practical advice for individuals at every fitness level and share the latest research on how physical activity influences cardiovascular health, inflammation, and aging. Dr. Hefron will detail specialized care options for athletes managing heart conditions or at risk of developing them, including tailored support for individuals with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or other cardiovascular risk factors.
