In Cardiovascular Health, Jay N. Cohn MD., a renowned cardiologist describes the biological processes leading to heart and blood vessel disease. He challenges the conventional view that risk factors such as poor diet, and lack of exercise are the biggest culprits. Each of these widely-described risk factors is individually discussed and Dr. Cohn concludes that their role in affecting cardiovascular health is often overstated. He promotes a greater emphasis on an individual’s personal and largely inherited cardiovascular health by simple assessment of the function and structure of the arteries and heart. By identifying early disease likely to progress he advocates for early intervention, often with drug therapy, to slow disease progression and prevent symptoms of cardiovascular disease.

He was Director of the University’s Cardiovascular Division from 1974-96. He is widely recognized for his contributions to an understanding and management of hypertension, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and heart failure.
