Livingston, NJ— Heart Disease is
the number one killer of women in the United States. To create awareness
about this disease and to celebrate American Heart Month, the Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center, an affiliate of the Saint Barnabas
Health Care System, will hold a lecture entitled, Tell a Friend
about Women and Heart Disease.
The lecture will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday,
February 25, 2010,
in Conference Room A/B at the Barnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center, 200 South Orange Avenue,
Livingston (across from the Livingston Mall).
Most women fail to make the connection between risk factors – such
as high blood pressure and high cholesterol – and their personal
risk of developing heart disease. This lecture
will explain what the cardiovascular risks are for women and what
steps they can take to prevent heart disease.
Leading the lecture will be Janie Baranyay, RN, APN. A nurse practitioner
of the Department of CT Surgery and Quality Cardiac
Coordinator at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, Ms. Baranyay has been
a nurse for 17 years and a nurse practitioner for five years. She
has worked in many areas including critical care, cardiology, cardiac
services, cardiac rehab and emergency department.
