GRAND ISLAND — CHI Health St. Francis, in collaboration with Nebraska Heart Institute, is hosting a heart-education session at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 25 in Conference Room 2/3 at the hospital.
Local Cardiologist Dr. Jeffrey King will discuss “Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure: What does this mean? And, what do you need to know?”
Part of a new monthly series, this presentation is free and open to the community.
During the session, Dr. King will explore coronary artery disease (CAD)–the most common type of heart disease in the United States. For some people, the first sign of CAD is a heart attack. Over time, CAD can weaken the heart muscle. This may lead to heart failure, a serious condition where the heart can’t pump blood the way it should.
Dr. King is a cardiology specialist with more than 26 years of experience in cardiac implantable device procedures, heart conditions, and adult congenital heart conditions. Dr. King is board certified and a graduate of University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine.
