“Most coronary disease need never exist, and where it does exist, it need not progress…. It’s simple: advocate a lifestyle of plant-based nutrition, make a bold leap toward a world free of heart disease, and lessen our use of scalpels and drugs.” – Caldwell Esselstyn, MD

In honor of Healthy Heart Month, Plant Powered Metro New York returns to Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, presenting cardiologist Hooman Yaghoobzadeh, MD, FACC, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.
