Event Description: 

Science Distilled, a new lecture series created by DRI and The Discovery, makes cutting-edge science approachable through presentations on current and curious topics held at hip locations in a social atmosphere.

Genetically Speaking

Scientists and health researchers are discovering that one size does not fit all when it comes to advice for promoting heart health.  Why is it so hard to predict who is going to have a heart attack? Why do seemingly healthy people die of heart attacks? Sometimes a good diet and a healthy lifestyle are not enough. Emerging research is pointing to the central role that our genetics play in assessing risk and improving diagnoses for cardiac-related issues.

This Science Distilled panel brings together some of our community’s leading experts in heart health and genetics, spanning the continuum from research and discovery to clinical practice and health education.

We’ll discuss discoveries from around the globe and right here in our backyard. Come hear these experts talk about the big questions in heart health and how they are solving these mysteries to improve patient care, prevention, and education.
