How do I learn more about my heart condition?

It's common to have more questions about your heart condition than you can get answered in today's brief office visits. Even if your physician takes time to talk with you, often questions arise after you've left the office, things you wish you asked and didn't have time to, or that occurred to you only after you left. There's a great deal of information about heart conditions on the Internet, some of it on other portions of Videojug. You can also go to other parts of the web where there are reliable providers. The American Heart Association has a good bit of information on americanheart.org that will give you information that is reliable and trustworthy, about specific risk factors, about your specific heart conditions, and an A-Z encyclopedia of data about heart disease. You can also call the American Heart Association at 1-888-MYHEART and talk to people who can direct you in the right direction to get the information you need about your heart condition.
