Heart Health 101

We are proud to invite you to participate in an exciting webinar next Friday, February 17, 2012 in honor of Heart Month. Heart Health 101 will provide practical information and tips you can apply to your day-to-day life, whether you are managing an existing cardiac condition or you are healthy and keen to maintain your heart health.

Heart Health 101 is presented by Home Care Assistance and will feature renowned Cleveland Clinic heart experts Dr. Steve Nissen, chair of the Cardiac Department, and Dr. Marc Gillinov, a recognized Cardiovascular Surgeon. Drs. Nissen and Gillinov, in addition to being accomplished physicians, are the authors of Heart 411-The Only Guide to Heart Health You'll Ever Need, released last Tuesday to coincide with American Heart Month.

This free webinar will be held on February 17, 2012 at 2:00 PM (EST). We recommend this webinar for anyone who is interested in health and wellness topics, especially those who have a history of heart disease. Space is limited to the first 1000 registrants, so make sure to reserve your seat as soon as possible at www.homecareassistance.com/heartmonth.

Heart 411 has been described as the definitive guide to heart health from two of America's most respected doctors at the Cleveland Clinic, the leading hospital for heart health in America. Their book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in heart health that provides answers to common questions such as "Can a high stress job really lead to a heart attack?" and "What are the most important medical tests to run to check on heart health?" in an accessible way and provides useful health tips from which everyone can benefit.

"Good information is the key to good heart health," said Dr. Gillinov, Cardiac Surgeon at Cleveland Clinic. "Myths and misinformation abound. Our mission is to arm people with real, evidence-based medical information that will empower them to ensure their heart health."

In addition to the webinar, Home Care Assistance is also celebrating Heart Month by providing free copies of our Patient Guide to Cardiac Rehabilitation, Patient Guide to Post-Stroke Recovery and the latest book in our series, From Hospital to Home Care: A Step by Step Guide to Provide Care to Patients Post Hospitalization. For your free copies or for questions regarding the webinar or any other topic, please call us at one of our local offices.
