Return to index of stories... 		Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook.
script iconIntro Guy
Return to index of stories... 		Each week on Outlook journalists from around the state join us with their perspective on the top stories. One of our regulars is Guy MacMillin. If you're a fan of our Friday Edition, you may have noticed that Guy hasn't been on lately. That's because Guy found out he was -in a sense - a walking time bomb. And in order to get well - he'd have to have surgery.

Return to index of stories... 		Chip Neal visits the Cardiovascular Wellness Center at the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester to find out how to take better care of your heart. We talk with Janet Troski about the process when someone starts out at the center. They do an interview to assess your risk level for heart disease. And then they put together a plan of exercise and education to put you on the right track. You may also need a "stress test" to determine how much exercise to put in your plan. Michele Keenan, an exercise physiologist show us a few of the exercise elements. And Dr. Lewis Fink, an interventional cardiologist at the Catholic Medical Center explains the causes of heart disease and how they can be modified and your chances improved.
