A focused home for coronary artery disease.

Coronary artery disease kills more people than any war, any cancer, any pandemic. Most of those people never saw it coming. The disease builds quietly, for decades, before it ever announces itself.

This site exists because that needs to change. There is one place for patients and their families to understand what is happening inside their bodies, and one place for the next generation of researchers to find the science organized for thinking, not just memorizing.


To raise public awareness of coronary artery disease and lay the groundwork for a new era of discovery. So this disease is better understood, better detected, and one day, preventable.

The Science behind coronary artery disease

Whether you are worried about your heart or you are studying it, there is a path written for you. Pick the door that fits.

My story with coronary artery disease began long ago, as I watched my father press his hands tightly against his chest from time to time, so hard that his fingers seemed to dig into his ribs.
Then one morning, I woke to find him collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath in broken intervals. I rushed to apply what we had learned in medical school, performing chest compressions again and again, only to realize later that nothing can outrun death.

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of sudden death worldwide. I believe we can better understand it, and better treat the disease progression, and complications with advanced research.
