What if we could prevent one of the world’s leading causes of death? 

In this episode of Beatwise The Podcast, I chat with with Professor Amitava Banerjee, a renowned cardiologist and professor of clinical data science at University College London and we dive deep into the world of cardiovascular disease prevention 

Together, we unpack the complexities of cardiovascular diseases, explore how prevention is our best defense, and discuss the critical role of global health organizations like the World Heart Federation in shaping public health policies.

From understanding key risk factors to the fascinating impact of epidemiology, we uncover the science, strategies, and global efforts behind reducing smoking rates and improving heart health.
