Event Details

February is Heart Month!  Join Interventional Cardiologist - Dr. Kunal Chawla as he discusses the newest screening and treatment recommendations to prevent heart disease.

This session provides a clear, practical overview of modern cardiac preventative screening. Dr. Chawla will discuss how to identify if you are at an elevated cardiovascular risk and the tools available to detect disease earlier and more accurately. He will cover the role of coronary artery calcium scoring, advanced lipid testing, blood pressure and metabolic screening, lifestyle risk assessment, and when to consider CT angiography or other imaging. The talk will emphasize how to integrate these modalities into your routine doctor visits, how to tailor prevention strategies, and how early detection can meaningfully reduce long-term cardiovascular events. Attendees will walk away with an actionable framework for comprehensive, contemporary cardiovascular disease prevention.
