Here is information from the professor, who is a lifelong cardiac healthcare provider.
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the US and the world. Diabetes is also high on the list of preventable diseases, and common in our country and especially in our state. Almost everyone out there has a grandparent, parent, aunt/uncle or even a sibling who has one or more of these issues. From the standpoint of learning more so individuals can support loved ones, AND from a primary prevention standpoint of preventing these diseases in themselves — given a family history, this class should be of interest, and should be very applicable. The class incorporates guest lecturers and actual patients who are living well with these conditions.
