My Essential Question:

How can I integrate my family's medical history with my current life choices to prevent Heart Disease?


I chose this question not only because of my interests in Cardiology, but because ailments such as heart disease and hypertension run in my family. Heart disease is currently the number one cause of death in the United States. For this reason, I am eager to learn about the actions I can take in order to prevent these conditions from occurring in my life, and in the lives of those around me. Because of my desire to pursue a career in the medical field, I know that researching more into this topic will be very helpful for my own personal life, but also will prove beneficial for the community as a whole.
