How to Prevent Heart Disease with Dr. Beth Abramson

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The point of preventive cardiology is to inform people they’re on a path toward developing heart disease and other cardiovascular problems—so that they can change their lifestyle and delay the onset of any issues.
