Why are between 500-1,000 people in BC diagnosed with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) every year? And why are their close relatives up to 10 times more likely to develop atherosclerotic CVD?
These are questions the public forum on the Study to Avoid Cardiovascular Events in British Columbia (SAVE BC) research program seeks to answer.
- Tara Sedlack, the director of the Leslie Diamond Women’s Heart Health Clinic and expert on women’s heart health, will speak about women and heart disease.
- John Mancini, the director of the CardioRisk Clinic, will discuss management of cholesterol-related heart disease.
- SAVE BC physicians Dr. Simon Pimstone and Dr. Liam Brunham will present updates on the SAVE BC research program and genetics in heart disease.
For those attending in person, you will have the chance to engage in smaller patient-oriented discussions to share your opinions and perspective with your fellow patients, family members, and the SAVE BC team after the educational session. We want to hear how your experience has been, and how we can continue to improve SAVE BC.
