The Foundation’s Research Matters speaker series returned for a seminar on heart health with local Cardiologist, and senior clinical lecturer at the University of Tasmania, Dr Andrew Black. It was great to have Andrew share his expertise with our highly engaged community of Foundation supporters at the brand-new St Lukes Community Hub in Hobart’s CBD.
Over 45 minutes Dr Black discusses the causes of heart disease, what to do if you experience symptoms, how heart conditions are detected, the latest interventions for prevention and treatment, and some of the fascinating research that is taking place right here in Tasmania. It is a fascinating and informative discussion about the deadliest condition in Tasmania.
We’d like to thank St Lukes for supporting the event and hosting us in their brand new Community Hub!
