Know Your Heart and Vascular Systems

At Austin Heart, we feel that patient education is one of the important parts of premier cardiovascular care. Making sense of heart health and common treatments and procedures not only helps patients become more involved in their health care decisions, it also helps family members, loved ones and friends understand what the patient is going through so they can offer effective care and support.

We have included informative videos, HeartFacts (education materials developed by Austin Heart), along with carefully selected websites and other materials that support a heart-healthy lifestyle.

Videos: Short illustrations demonstrating how the heart and vascular system works, as well as common heart and vascular problems.

HeartFacts: Patient education materials developed by the physicians of Austin Heart to increase patient knowledge of heart disease and prevention, and prepare them to take charge of their health.
