    Harris Survey Results and Heart Health

    On this show, we discuss new ways of looking at your cardiovascular health with leading health and wellness experts! Today we are going to discuss the findings of a recent survey done by Harris Surveys that focuses on cardiovascular disease in America as well as touches on the solutions that can come from the survey. Rob is an expert on the survey and will be walking us through some of the results and what the purpose of the survey is in the first place! Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States, yet there have been growing concerns that the COVID-19 pandemic may have negatively impacted treatment, from lock-downs to general unease about going out. The survey is intended to better understand this dynamic and explore other factors that may be causing an impact to improvements in everyday cardiovascular health. Dr. Bramlet will then give us insight into the potential impact of the survey results in a clinical setting. Hear him discuss exploring the physician-patient dialogue and how physicians have been re-engaging with patients. A lot of people have delayed or avoided going to their health care provider as a result of the pandemic which has put the onus on physicians to reach out to their patients, particularly those with diabetes or heart conditions, to encourage regular checkups.

    Underserved Populations and Heart Health

    On this week’s episode of True To Your Heart presented by Amarin, we are discussing cardiovascular health among minority communities. Ron Jaworski gets a chance to sit down with Dr. Kenton Forte, an Assistant Clinical Professor at SUNY in Buffalo, who has been practicing internal medicine at the Heart Beat Center of Western New York for over 22 years. Together they talk about how different social determinants such as education, housing, stress and more can impact your overall health as a person. Did you know 80% of a human's health is determined by nonclinical factors? The social determinants of health are very important in terms of your everyday environment from school to nutrition to where you live. It’s about prevention rather than intervention! Learn firsthand from Dr. Forte some of the different preventative measures you can take to safeguard your health and your future through understanding the contributing factors behind cardiovascular disease. He also discusses exercise plan recommendations and how they correlate with the proper diet! Also, hear about the work he is doing with the Greater Buffalo United Accountable Care Organization to bring awareness about heart health to minority communities. Later on the show, Ron will be speaking with the CEO of Diabetes Sisters, Anna Norton! Diabetes Sisters is a non-profit organization that offers a range of education and support services to help women of all ages with all types of diabetes live healthier, fuller lives. They create opportunities for peer support and education with a goal for women to form a special bond and freely share information, helpful tips, and stories of hope. Hear Ron and Anna talk about how diabetes affects underserved communities and how it can relate to other cardiovascular diseases! Together the two break down some of the environmental and social factors that are affecting the cardiovascular health of different minority communities.
