Blogging on Matters Close to my Heart at HART
I`m glad to be here at Battling Heart and Stroke. And I`m here for professional as well as for personal reasons.
Professionally, I`ve worked on different writing projects on cardiovascular disorders, ranging from clinical and regulatory documents to web and print articles for patients and consumers. I definitely find this field of medicine pretty interesting.
I`m also quite involved with cardiovascular issues on a personal level. I had a heart condition myself way back as a consequence of Graves` disease and hyperthyroidism. I had to go through the whole battery of tests – from ultrasound to 48-hour continuous ECG. In the end it wasn`t anything serious and the problems resolved with treatments but the experience was enough to make me take heart and stroke issues seriously.
