The Foundation for Cardiovascular Health, a nonprofit community foundation, will be offering the Heart Series program—a comprehensive, medically-directed, 36-hour interactive program developed by Tucsonans Charles Katzenberg, M.D., and Edna Silva, RN—from 4 to 7 p.m., Tuesdays from September 8 through November 24. The program is designed for anyone that wants to prevent, halt, stabilize and reverse coronary artery disease.

The Heart Series program includes instruction by physicians, nurses, counselors and individuals that have successfully implemented a heart-healthy program in their lives. Highlights include risk factor evaluations, including analysis of lipids; label reading; nutrition and supplements; how to make health choices when dining out; heart medication review; and stress reduction techniques, including tai chi, yoga, heart math, exercise instruction and communication.

Katzenberg is a cardiologist with the Banner University Medical Center who emphasizes a healthy lifestyle as the best prevention against heart disease. Silva has worked in cardiac rehabilitation for the past 21 years.
