Heart Disease 101: A Beginner’s Guide for Students

This beginner-friendly course introduces the fundamentals of heart disease in a clear, student-focused way. You’ll learn how the heart works, what “heart disease” really means (it’s a family of problems, not one thing), the most common conditions (like coronary artery disease and heart failure), key risk factors, warning signs, basic testing, and the core principles of prevention and treatment. The goal is to build a strong foundation without drowning you in cardiology jargon.
