This month's MedEvidence! podcast is a three-part series on "What to do after a Heart Attack or Stroke?" In the first MedEvidence segment we established that people who have had either a heart attack or stroke have a high risk for a repeat procedure or event. We also discussed knowing who's on your Heart Health Team, PCP, specialist, and family. What's abnormal, normal, and what to do when symptoms last greater than 20 minutes? In this 15-minute episode, Doctors, Michael Koren and Albert Lopez DO discuss the Risk Factors You Need to know for your heart health. 


You will learn:

  • What modifiable risk factors are 
  • What non-modifiable risk factors are
  •  What you can do to help your risk factors
  • How clinical trials and research find other drug benefits
  • How to be involved in a clinical trial
