PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY ACADEMIC AWARD

在过去六年中，在以下方面取得了令人印象深刻的进展： 建立了脂胆固醇-冠心病假说。 已经 许多研究评估了高密度脂蛋白（HDL）和低密度脂蛋白（LDL）。 低密度脂蛋白（LDL）与冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病 动脉疾病 全国冠心病一级预防试验 心脏、肺和血液研究所的脂质研究诊所计划提供了 早期最确凿的证据，降低胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白， 会降低心肌梗死的风险 预防心脏病学教育是努力的一个重要方面， 莫尔豪斯医学院。 预防心脏病学学术 授予预防心脏病学和风险因素识别的重点， 修改可以很容易地纳入医学院的 内科学系课程。 设计重点将是 主要是建立一个教育计划，教育医学 学生、住院医生、住院医师和教职员工。 我们将有机会与 儿科，并幸运地有一个居住计划活跃在 预防保健和流行病学。 这些累积的终点 预计将努力增加知识，改变个人健康 习惯以及实践行为的改变。 结果是一个 医疗实践中的积极变化， 教育和提高认识。 沿着的风险因素评估 风险因素修改，时间，奉献精神和承诺， 行为教学至关重要。

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.
