    October 3, 2025 - By 

    Introduction For decades, heart health and brain health were often treated as separate medical concerns. However, modern research has revealed a strong connection between the two.

    September 30, 2025 - By 

    Introduction A healthy heart beats in a steady, rhythmic pattern—about 60 to 100 times per minute at rest.

    October 12, 2023 - By 

    Introduction: The heart is the vital organ of the body because it supplies blood all over the body. If the heart isn’t able to pump the blood to the whole body, it will make choices that affect the whole body’s function, which means any issue in the heart is very risky. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a potentially fatal and chronic condition caused by a weakened or damaged heart. As a result, the heart is unable to efficiently circulate blood throughout the body. The kidneys may filter out less fluid because they receive less blood. As a result, the body…
