Join Summit Health Cardiology for a free screening of the film The Widowmaker.
According to the CDC, an estimated 610,000 people die annually of heart disease (that’s 1 in 4 deaths) and an estimated 735,000 Americans die every year of a heart attack. Heart disease is the #1 killer in both men and women in this country.
Patrick Forbes’ new documentary, The Widowmaker uncovers a conspiracy of silence around the most vulnerable of human organs – the heart. Every minute of every year an American drops dead of a heart attack, a huge number without any warning or prior symptoms. The film tells the story of the often contentious development of both preventative and interventional cardiology and explores various technologies to prevent and stop heart attacks.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Summit Health Cardiologists Rick Koch MD, FACC, Ian Riddock, MD and Nahel Farraj DO, FACC, FSCAI as well as one of the film’s principals, Bruce Brundage MD, MACC.
Whole Foods will be providing complementary healthy snacks.
