About the Event
Strategies for Promoting Cardiovascular Health Throughout the Lifespan 

This presentation will summarize contemporary views of biomedical aging in humans, including the new focus on 鈥渉ealthspan鈥, i.e., the portion of lifespan associated with good health and function. In particular, the importance of preserving cardiovascular health throughout the lifespan and evidence-based lifestyle and pharmacological strategies to achieve that lofty goal will be emphasized.
An internationally renowned scientist, his research has provided significant insight into not only the basic mechanisms of biological aging, but also lifestyle and pharmacological interventions for preserving physiological function with age, including cardiovascular health. At 91福利社, Seals established the General Clinical Research Center 鈥 since renamed the Clinical Translational Research Center 鈥 which remains the only National Institutes of Health-supported clinical research center not housed in a hospital or at a medical school. His many CU awards include Professor of Distinction in the College of Arts and Sciences, 91福利社 Faculty Assembly Research Award and 91福利社鈥檚 Distinguished Research Lectureship.
