This Harvard Medical School Continuing Education video examines these key questions: How do lifestyle factors contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD)? Which factors are the most important to address for lowering CVD risk?

Dr. Romit Bhattacharya, MD, reviews the development of cardiovascular disease while identifying key lifestyle factors that contribute to cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. The role of genetics is highlighted, and guidelines for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease through lifestyle modifications are identified and discussed.
