Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2012 - Home Care Assistance, North America’s leading provider of in-home care for seniors, is hosting a free webinar in honor of Heart Month, which spans the month of February. The webinar will be held on February 17th from 11:00 AM PST – 12:00 PM PST and will feature renowned heart experts Drs. Marc Gillinov and Steven Nissen. Drs. Nissen and Gillinov are authors of the new book "Heart 411-The Only Guide to Heart Health You'll Ever Need." The book has been described as the definitive guide to heart health from two of America's most respected doctors at the Cleveland Clinic, the leading hospital for heart health in America. Over the course of the webinar, the authors will be discussing heart health tips as well as conducting a Q&A at the end of the call.

"Good information is the key to good heart health,” said Dr. Gillinov, cardiac surgeon at the Sydell and Arnold Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute at Cleveland Clinic. “Myths and misinformation abound. Our mission is to arm people with real, evidence-based medical information that will empower them to ensure their heart health."

Heart 411 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in heart health that provides answers to frequently asked questions such as “Can a high stress job really lead to a heart attack?” and “What are the most important medical tests to run to check on heart health?” Backed by decades of clinical experience and up-to-the-minute research, the book provides the knowledge and tools individuals need to live a long and heart-healthy life.

Home Care Assistance is proud to host this webinar in observance of Heart Month and to raise awareness around heart disease and stroke prevention. Heart Disease is a leading cause of death and a major cause of disability. In fact, there is a heart-related fatality in America every minute. In Canada, heart disease and stroke are the leading cause of death for women and account for 33% of mortalities overall. Home Care Assistance is hosting the webinar as part of a larger initiative to be an educational resource for the community for topics relating to healthy longevity in order promote a proactive approach to optimal quality of life and wellness in aging.
