February is American Heart Month, and we’ll discuss the latest advances in cardiac health — from new treatments and technology to a focus on women’s health. We’ll also address how people can learn about their risk for heart disease, as well as how they can help reduce risks for cardiac issues later in life.
Guests
Mindy Beyer, chair, Maine chapter, American Heart Association; cardiac nurse; survivor of congenital heart disease
Dr. Alan Jansujwicz, noninvasive cardiologist, Northern Light Cardiology at Eastern Maine Medical Center; medical director, Northern Light Health Cardiovascular Services
