What are the exciting #CVprev trials at #AHA25? For me, one is this one: 🫀 GOFRESH Trial Can prescribing groceries lower blood pressure? The GOFRESH trial tests whether delivering DASH-patterned grocery boxes (not just advice) helps people eat healthy and cut BP. #AHA25 #FoodAsMedicine #GoFresh GrOceries For Black REsidents of Boston to Stop Hypertension 📆November 9 🕞3:30 pm 🎪Main Event 1
