Heart Disease

The heart beats. Seventy times per minute, a hundred thousand times a day, without you telling it to. It pumps, supplies, nourishes — every cell in your body lives from what this organ keeps in motion. You don't think about it. You don't feel it. Until it falters.

Heart palpitations, cardiac arrhythmias, tightness in the chest, coronary artery disease, heart failure — cardiology describes dozens of diagnoses, sorted by chambers, valves, vessels, and electrical conduction pathways. And each one of them has its physical reality: deposits, narrowings, scarring, functional disorders. That is not up for debate.
