Introduction
Dr. Joan Briller, professor of clinical medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago weighs in on how to stop or reverse the increasing mortality trends for chronic heart diseases. Turning this around will require more research into the best ways to address some of the root causes of heart disease, Briller says. “This will require several approaches including addressing the gender differences between men and women, educational campaigns that address lifestyle, addressing social determinants of health, and improved access to care.”
