Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States according to the American Heart Association. CHD is caused by a narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, and often results in a heart attack. Fortunately, everyone can take steps to protect their heart and their life-or a loved one's. This workshop will focus on preventing and treating CHD.
