Black Heart University (BHU)
Black Heart University was created to help you understand key health terms and conditions that impact overall heart health in the African American community, identify key risk factors and symptoms, and recognize the importance of making healthy lifestyle changes that will help prevent or manage heart failure, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and/or high cholesterol.
