Currently, in the United States, heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in uniform, and police officers have a life expectancy that is twenty-two years less than the general population, with an average life expectancy of just 57 years of age. As a cardiologist and a police officer, Dr. Sheinberg has pioneered cardiac research within the Law Enforcement Community with the intent to combat this discrepant rate of heart disease and death. In 2013, Dr. Sheinberg developed the Cardiac Screening Initiative (CSI), an observational cohort to determine the causes of and reduce the prevalence of coronary disease in law enforcement officers throughout the United States. To date, his program has screened more than 14,000 police officers, and the data and methods derived from it are being used nationwide to save countless lives. Current research has confirmed that over 90% of police officers who are at high risk for heart disease are missed during standard cardiac risk modeling. This webinar will focus on ways officers can prevent heart attacks and the process for the Cardiac Screening Initiative for you and your agency.
