Let's talk about Dhil Dhee Sehayth (heart health)!
FY 2010-11
Summary
Current research indicates that cardiac rehabilitation reduces the risk of future heart problems and promotes heart health. Given the higher incidence of heart disease within the Punjabi population, cardiac rehabilitation can be highly beneficial. Investigators from UBC School of Nursing's Dhil Dhee Sehayth Cardiac Rehabilitation Project will share research findings about facilitators and barriers to attending cardiac rehabilitation for Punjabi speaking British Columbians. Healthcare professionals will also explain issues around healthcare access and delivery. At this Cafe Scientifique event, we invite community members to come and talk with us about heart health.
