Heart Health Lecture Series
NYU Langone’s Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease hosts free educational events throughout the year through our Heart Health Lecture Series. Launched in 2015 under the direction of cardiologist Dennis A. Goodman, MD, director of integrative medicine at NYU Langone’s Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology, this patient education initiative focuses on helping you take control of your heart health and work toward a healthier future.
Presented via webinar, the Heart Health Lecture Series covers topics such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, obesity, and stress. The series also highlights the latest information related to the conditions that increase cardiovascular disease risk such as diabetes, autoimmune conditions, thrombotic disorders, and high blood pressure. Our expert speakers present the latest clinical information on scientific research, offer suggestions for better health, and provide dedicated time to answer questions from webinar participants.

Pregnancy and Your Heart
Between 10 and 15 percent of pregnancies have at least one complication linked to increased risk of developing heart disease after childbirth. The cardiovascular complications associated with high-risk pregnancies may include high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia or gestational diabetes. Adverse pregnancy outcomes are lifelong risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The postpartum period and the first decade after giving birth are important periods for optimizing cardiovascular health and preventing future cardiovascular disease.
Join NYU Langone cardiologist Anaïs Hausvater, MD, for the latest information on pregnancy and heart health. Dr. Hausvater will discuss the importance of personalized screening and treatment approaches to ensure that pregnancies at risk for cardiovascular complications are properly managed to optimize the health of the mother and child. Cardiologist and moderator Dennis A. Goodman, MD, will facilitate the discussion and questions from the audience.
