Dr Decker Weiss to address depression-heart disease link at Cleveland Heart Lab symposium
Lecture will present original research showing the link between the central nervous system, depression, inflammation and heart disease
Dr Decker Weiss, cardiology clinical advisor to Pharmasan Labs and NeuroScience, will present the session 'Inflammation: Is it the Link Between Heart Disease and Depression?' at the Cleveland Heart Lab's 2014 5th Annual Symposium in Cleveland, Ohio on 13 September. Dr Weiss's lecture will present original research showing the link between the central nervous system, depression, inflammation and heart disease.
Dr Weiss is cardiology clinical advisor to Pharmasan Labs and NeuroScience, which has partnered on a new protocol for taking a more proactive approach to heart health. Pharmasan Labs' NeuroCardio profiles offer health care practitioners an all-in-one assessment of multiple risk factors, while NeuroScience's Cardio suite targets the primary type of cholesterol found in plaques (oxidized LDL) and addresses the immune and nervous system imbalances and over-worked antioxidant defenses that contribute to plaque buildup and rupture.
Dr Weiss is the first naturopathic physician to complete a conventional internship, residency, and fellowship in a conventional medical system. He trained in the Columbia Hospital system, the Arizona Heart Hospital and the Arizona Heart Institute, and is founder of the Scottsdale Heart Institute. He is the first of his profession to speak and educate for the Cleveland Clinic.
