You may have heard the expression, serious as a heart attack. It is serious; it’s a matter of life and death. Heart disease is the number one killer around the world and most of us know people that have been affected by some form of cardiovascular disease. We believe education is part of the answer so we’re going to do our part to educate.

When considering how a heart attack affects the body, we must look at the short term effects where the heart is in the process of failing and the long term effects after the heart has recovered from an immediate and imminent issue.

The purpose of this website is to become an education resource in the following areas:

1. Signs and Symptoms of a Heart Attack

2. What should you do if you believe you may be experiencing a heart attack?

3. Short term effects of a heart attack on the body

4. Long term effects of a heart attack on the body

5. Heart Healthy Lifestyles

6. Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

7. Heart Surgery: Techniques, what to expect and recovery

We will use clinical resources, advice from doctors and stick to the facts. We will cite our sources to our readers. We believe that understanding the source of the information is as important as the information itself. We are not doctors and our role is to collect and organize information about the heart and cardiovascular disease so that our readers can have a one stop shop for research.

We want to take input from our readers, potentially build a directory or a forum where patients may engage with each other and cardiovascular doctors. Collecting and organizing valuable information is a process and we thank you for your patience as we develop our website.
