Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease affecting Americans right now. More than 700,000 Americans will have a heart attack this year alone. The most important defense against this disease is education and knowing when you need to act!
Harlingen Medical Center, a leader in cardiovascular care, in observance of National Heart Month (February), will devote a month-long series of its Doc Talk Lectures to some of the most important medical topics related to your heart – starting Wednesday, February 1, 2017, at 6:00 p.m., in the Harlingen Medical Center Medical Office Building (MOB) Conference Room, located 5505 S.
