PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY ACADEMIC AWARD

在过去的六年里，我们在以下方面取得了令人印象深刻的进展： 建立脂质胆固醇-冠心病假说。 有 大量研究评估了高密度脂蛋白（HDL）和低密度脂蛋白 密度脂蛋白（LDL）与冠状动脉呈负相关和正相关 动脉疾病。 国家冠心病一级预防试验 提供心脏、肺和血液研究所的脂质研究诊所计划 早期最确凿的证据表明，降低胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白 将降低心肌梗塞的风险。 预防心脏病学教育是我们努力的一个重要方面 莫尔豪斯医学院。 与预防心脏病学学术界 奖励预防心脏病学和危险因素识别的重点 修改可以很容易地纳入医学院的 内科课程系。 设计重点将是 主要建立教育计划来教育医学 学生、住院医师、住院医生和教职员工。 我们将有机会与 儿科，并很幸运有一个活跃的住院医师计划 预防健康和流行病学。 这些累积的终点 预计努力会增加知识，改变个人健康 习惯以及实践行为的改变。 结果是 医学实践的积极变化将患者纳入其中 教育和提高认识。 风险因素评估 风险因素的改变、时间、奉献精神和承诺 行为教学是必不可少的。

During the past six years an impressive amount of progress has been made in establishing the lipid cholesterol-coronary disease hypothesis. There have been numerous studies evaluating high density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) inverse and direct relationships to coronary artery disease. The Coronary Primary Prevention Trial of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Lipid Research Clinics program provided the most conclusive evidence early on, that lowering cholesterol and LDL will decrease the risk of myocardial infarction. Preventive cardiology education is an important aspect of the efforts of Morehouse School of Medicine. With the Preventive Cardiology Academic Award the focus of preventive cardiology and risk factor identification and modification can be easily incorporated into the College of Medicine's Department of Internal Medicine Curriculum. The design focus will be predominantly establishing an educational program to educate medical students, residents, house physicians, and faculty. We will have available to us the opportunity to work closely with Pediatrics, and are fortunate to have a residency program active in preventive health and epidemiology. The endpoint of these cumulative efforts is expected to be increased knowledge, changes in personal health habits as well as alterations in practice behavior. The outcome is a positive change in the practice of medicine to incorporate patient education and increased awareness. The assessment of risk factors along with risk factor modification, time, dedication, and commitment to behavioral teaching are essential.
