Free presentations on a way to reverse coronary artery disease through lifestyle change are being presented at two locations in August.
The Foundation for Cardiovascular Health, a non-profit community foundation, helps people "change your lifestyle, save your heart."
Free talks are offered Sunday, Aug. 8, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Northwest YMCA Pima County Community Center, 7770 N. Shannon Road; and again Wednesday, Aug. 18, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Tucson Jewish Community Center, 3800 E. River Rd.
Making the presentations are Edna Silva, RN, a 20-year cardiac rehabilitation nurse, and Heritage Highlands resident Richard "Richy" Feinberg. Feinberg had a heart attack in 1993, quadruple bypass heart surgery one week later, and another heart attack two months later. He found the class "Coronary artery disease can be reversed," and is "an enthusiastic advocate for the heart disease reversal program."
Visitors can learn how blockages are formed in coronary arteries, and how coronary artery disease "can be prevented, halted, stabilized and reversed," a release said.
Feinberg may be reached at 797-2281.
