Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: 20 October 2026

For education only

The articles, FAQs, tools and other content on this website are meant to help patients and families understand heart conditions, tests and treatments in general terms. They are written for education only. They do not give medical advice for any individual, and reading them does not create a doctor–patient relationship.

Not a substitute for a consultation

Every person's heart, history and reports are different. A diagnosis or treatment plan can only be made after a doctor has examined you and reviewed your tests. Please do not use this website to diagnose yourself or someone else.

Do not change your treatment based on this site

• Do not stop, start or change the dose of any medicine because of something you read here.
• This is especially important for blood thinners, blood pressure tablets and medicines prescribed after a stent or heart attack. Stopping them suddenly can be dangerous.
• If you have questions about your treatment, discuss them with your own doctor.

Tools on this website

Tools such as the BP diary help you record your readings. They do not interpret your health or replace medical advice. Readings taken at home depend on the machine and how it is used, so share them with your doctor rather than acting on them alone.

In an emergency

If you have chest pain, breathlessness, fainting, sudden weakness, or trouble with speech or vision, do not search the website for answers. Call 108 for an ambulance, or 112, immediately.

Accuracy of information

The content is based on established medical knowledge and reliable public sources, which are listed with articles where relevant. Medical knowledge and guidelines change over time, and practice can differ between hospitals and patients. We review content from time to time, but some information may not reflect the latest updates.

How this website is written

This website follows the National Medical Commission's norms for doctors' public communication. It does not contain patient testimonials, success claims, comparisons with other doctors or promises about results. Outcomes of any test or treatment vary from person to person, and the risks and benefits in your case will be explained during your consultation.
