Last week, TABC’s biology department hosted Dr. Joseph Shatzkes of Englewood Cardiology Consultants as he shared his expertise in the cardiovascular system and staying healthy. Dr. Shatzkes is a board certified physician in cardiovascular diseases, internal medicine, echocardiography and nuclear cardiology. Students learned the importance of exercise, making proper diet choices and avoiding known risk factors for cardiac related issues. The science textbook came alive and the students walked away with several important life lessons as well.
