A Journey to the World of Heart...
So the heart is the beginning of life, the Sun of the Microcosm, even as the Sun deserves to be called the heart of the world; for it is the heart by whose virtue and pulsation the blood is moved, perfected, made apt to nourish, and is preserved from corruption and coagulation; it is the household divinity which, discharging its function, nourishes, cherishes, quickens the whole body, and is indeed the foundation of life, the source of all action."
- William Harvey, 1628
Heart disease is number one killer and a major cause of disability. The most common cause of Heart disease is narrowing or blockage of blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. This is called Heart Attack. You can reduce your risk of heart disease by controlling your blood pressure, lowering your cholesterol, quitting smoke and doing physical exercise regularly. We created this site to provide reliable and trustworthy patient specific information about all medical diseases affecting Heart and Blood Vessels.
Our Mission : To educate patients, mitigate their suffering from heart related diseases and to prevent them from adopting harmful lifestyles.
We collected some public domain articles from various authentic sources and published them on Heart.org.in so as to provide immediate content to Heart.org.in users. As and when we get some free time, we will publish original researched articles and replace the present public domain articles in a phased manner. We are very much interested to hear your feedback on this project.
