Coming from a family that has a history of heart disease, I am very aware of the many problems that being overweight can cause.  Although hypertension and diabetes are on my priority list of concerns, I am most concerned with the heart conditions associated with my obesity.

Today I came across the website, TheHeart.org.  The first thing that stood out when I visited TheHeart.org was that it was associated with WebMD.  Just that association alone led me to believe that this was most definitely a website I could trust, and from there I decided to browse around.  At TheHeart.org, their purpose is to basically provide information to cardiologists, referring physicians, and other health care professionals such as nurses and lab technicians on how to care for people with heart and circulation disorders.  They also provide information on prevention, which is very important to me.

Although, this website requires membership (free for health care professionals who are members of recognized professional associations), it provides a plethora of information regarding Acute Coronary Syndrome, Hypertension, Heart Failure to name a few.  Not only is it composed of articles from HeartWire, but you will also find features such as informative videos and polls.

I would definitely recommend this website for health professionals in the cardiology field.  With membership, they will have access to unique continuous medical education content, be able to join in conversations in the blogs and discussion forums, and receive exclusive newsletters related to their field of interest.
