Lecture Content

Heart of the Matter — Topics Covered

A structured overview of what was covered in the lecture. Download the full slides for a complete reference.

Section 01
The Scope of Cardiovascular Disease
Why heart disease remains the #1 killer in the US — and why it's particularly prevalent in South Asian communities. Statistics that matter to your community.
Section 02
Know Your Risk Factors
Hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, family history — what each means, how to check your numbers, and what targets to aim for.
Section 03
Heart Attack — Recognize It, Act Fast
The symptoms of a heart attack — classic and atypical presentations. Why women and South Asian patients often present differently. When to call 911 immediately.
Section 04
Aortic Stenosis & TAVR
What aortic stenosis is, why it progresses silently, and how TAVR has transformed treatment — replacing a diseased heart valve through a small tube in the groin without open surgery.
Section 05
Atrial Fibrillation & Stroke Prevention
How AF causes stroke, anticoagulation options, and the Watchman device — closing off the stroke source for patients who can't take blood thinners safely.
Section 06
Prevention — What You Can Do Today
Practical, evidence-based prevention strategies — diet, exercise, medications, and monitoring. What the guidelines actually recommend and how to talk to your doctor about it.
Section 07
When to See a Cardiologist
Red flag symptoms that require prompt evaluation. The difference between a general cardiologist, interventional cardiologist, and structural heart specialist — and when you need each.
Section 08
Community Q&A
Live questions from community members — answered openly and honestly. The questions people are afraid to ask their own doctor, answered in plain language.
