Stress and Your Heart
Dr. Charles Blatt
January 7, 2021

“Stress” permeates our lives in so many ways - visibly and invisibly. Whether it’s stress associated with work, finances, relationships, a transition or simply making everyday decisions - the effects of stress can be cumulative and impact the heart, health and overall well-being.


In this session Dr. Charles Blatt will discuss what mediates the stress response, the biophysiological signs and symptoms, what is known about the impact of stress on the heart and why he believes it’s an important topic and one he addresses in clinical encounters. He will also highlight practical techniques that may help you to minimize and manage your stress levels in the New Year.
