Healthy Heart
April 13 through 20, 2008

If you've had a heart attack or are at high risk for heart disease, this week can positively change your life. Join renowned heart specialists and prevention/wellness experts who'll help you learn how to reduce coronary risk factors and live healthier longer. Presented in conjunction with the Sarver Heart Center of the University of Arizona.

STOP HEART DISEASE IN ITS TRACKS
Research shows it is possible to stop the progression of heart disease or even reverse its effects in small degrees. During Healthy Heart you'll get important information about stabilizing coronary artery plaque to reduce your risks.

The first step is to take a close look at your lifestyle, then make modifications to deal with or prevent heart disease. Of course, changing a lifetime of habits takes concentration, education, practice and support. That's exactly what you'll find in Healthy Heart.

Please note: Your last heart procedure must have been completed at least three months prior to program participation.
