BETHEL — A lecture titled “Understanding Your Heart Rhythm” will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, at the West Parish Congregational Church.

It is part of the To Your Health program of the Western Mountains Senior College and held in collaboration with the Bethel Family Health Center and School Administrative District 44 Continuing Education.

Dr. Daniel VanBuren, a medical doctor and board-certified cardiologist with the Androscoggin Valley Hospital in Berlin, N.H., will speak about how to recognize abnormal rhythms of the heart, such as atrial fibrillation, according to program Chairwoman Rosabelle Tifft. People will learn how abnormal rhythms can be detected and evaluated, and the two long-term treatment options.

The program is free and open to the public.

Since 2006, the Western Mountains Senior College has hosted more than 60 programs with over 1,300 residents attending, Tifft said.
