How to Avoid a Broken Heart with Dr. Ali Haider (YourHeartDoc)

Friends of Franz

According to the CDC, cardiovascular disease remains to be the leading cause of death worldwide across all gender, race, and ethnic groups. In fact, one person in the United States dies from it every 34 seconds. Cardiac pathologies are sometimes seen to be “silent killers,” only recognized during the actual critical moment. Are there recommended diet and exercise levels to avoid a heart attack? How can one lower their blood pressure? Should we be scared of high cholesterol levels? Can extreme stress really "break" the heart?

We are joined today by Dr. Ali Haider, a board-certified interventional and structural cardiologist. He received his BS in Biology and Neuroscience from Wesleyan University in 2000, MD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2005, Internal Medicine residency at Montefiore Medical Center in 2008, General Cardiology fellowship at North Shore LIJ Health System in 2011, and Interventional Cardiology fellowship at Weill Cornell Medical College/NYP in 2012. Dr. Haider is currently an attending physician at NYP Queens. Outside the hospital, he was an Assistant Professor of Medicine at UMass Chan Medical School for a decade and has contributed to medical textbooks and journals, such as the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine. He continues to permeate cardiology education on social media, where he has amassed 170,000 followers, and on national television, having been featured on Fox News, NJ. com, and WWLP-22News.
