Heart & Vascular Guides
In-depth guides to heart and vascular health
Long-form, physician-informed guides that connect symptoms, conditions, prevention, and procedures — so you can see the full picture and know when to talk to a cardiologist.
Understanding Heart Disease: A Patient's Guide
Heart disease is not one condition — it's a family of diseases that affect the heart muscle, its blood vessels, and its electrical system. This guide walks you through the most common forms, the warning signs, the tests cardiologists use, and how modern treatment can help you live longer and better.
Vascular Health & Peripheral Artery Disease
Your vascular system is a network of arteries and veins that reaches every organ. When plaque narrows leg arteries — peripheral artery disease (PAD) — the warning is not only about the legs; it is about your entire cardiovascular risk. This guide explains what to watch for, how PAD is diagnosed, and the range of modern, in-office treatments.
Heart-Healthy Living & Prevention
The best cardiology visit is often the one that keeps you out of the hospital in the first place. This guide covers the habits, numbers, and screenings with the strongest evidence for preventing heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure — plus how a longevity-focused evaluation puts them together.
Cardiac Procedures & What to Expect
Modern cardiology is increasingly done through small punctures rather than large incisions. This guide walks through the most common catheter-based and minimally invasive procedures — what they treat, how they're done, and what recovery looks like.
