This Week’s Episode
February is a month that is deeply important to my work as a cardiologist because this month is American Heart Month. During American Heart Month, the AHA and other organizations reinforce the importance of heart health, and the need for more research and efforts to ensure that millions of people live longer and healthier.
In this episode we discuss the importance of everyone learning how to perform CPR properly, and also together we encourage our listeners to understand that they can save someone’s life.
Comilla Sasson, MD, PhD is the Vice President for Science & Innovation for Emergency Cardiovascular Care at the American Heart Association. She is working to decrease health disparities and uses community-based participation in research to identify and implement solutions to improve the health and well-being of community members.
She has also contributed to medical research, which includes more than 90 publications in medical journals that include original work on geographic, racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in healthcare. Comilla and Dr. Nieca discuss the importance of learning CPR and how to promote the urgency of this life-saving strategy.
