Patients aren’t medicine experts and don’t know how the human’s body parts and organs look like. And they don’t need to know. But for professionals it’s sometimes really challenging to explain some health issues. Particularly cardiovascular diseases. What is stroke, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, venous thrombosis? What does it mean to have a stent implanted? When words fail, pictures can help to communicate clearly. By using the app's high-resolution cardiac graphics and animations, physicians can effectively review and discuss common heart problems and treatment options with their patients.
