Primary & Secondary Heart Disease Prevention Trends

In this video about “Primary & Secondary Heart Disease Prevention Trends,” Boulder Heart’s Nelson Trujillo, MD - board-certified cardiologist - and Maria Anderson, MD, FACC – board-certified in cardiac electrophysiology and lifestyle medicine – discuss:

•Why it's worth a conversation with your doctor about the new proposed guidance for daily low-dose aspirin
•Population recommendations vs. risk-benefit analysis for a particular illness
•Our country's fascination with taking pills for prevention, instead of better lifestyle options (diet, sleep, smoking, alcohol, stress)
•The FDA's new guidance asking food manufacturers and restaurants to cut the salt in their products over the coming 2½ years, hoping to reduce Americans' overall sodium intake by 12 percent.
