How does the heart work? Understanding heart disease - Michael Pauszek

Apr. 15th - 9:00 am - 10:30 am ET, In person at South Campus

This is an introduction to the function and dysfunction of the heart. It is a unique organ having both muscular and electrical components. Unlike the fabled center of emotion, the human heart in conjunction with the lungs are the common denominators of life. Participants will learn cardiac anatomy, physiology, and the role of specific abnormalities such as heart failure and atrial fibrillation play in the disruption of function. Participants will also learn how to use a phone app to monitor their heart rhythms. Bring your questions and we will get to “the heart of it!”
