CardioVisual is a trusted, clinician-driven education platform on heart, diabetes & wellness. Built by doctors, for everyone. Powered by MedicalVisual.

Insights-driven education for better outcomes. Heart disease is #1 killer worldwide.Improve awareness with trusted information. CardioVisual is a health educational app that was created by US cardiologists. It provides a library of trusted, concise & shareable videos of cardiovascular, diabetes, heart health, and wellness information. CardioVisual was awarded 2018 & 2019 ‘Best App for Heart Disease” by Healthline Media. Over half a million clinicians and patients in over 100 countries rely on its trustworthy & interactive multimedia content. Trusted Content: With 2-apps-in-1 for clinicians and patients, CardioVisual delivers over 400 (i.e. more than 7 hours) of high-quality, clinician-curated & created videos (in English and Spanish) & infographics that provide simplified, relevant & comprehensive information about all aspects of heart & vascular disease and diabetes along with their therapies, prevention & procedures. Audience: CardioVisual is used as a trusted educational resource by clinicians (e.g. doctors, nurses, NPs, PAs, allied health professionals, etc.) in various medical settings & by patients and caregivers on their own mobile devices. It is also used by medical & nursing students and trainees, medical industry sales and clinical teams, and healthcare workers as a trusted resource. Medical and patient organizations provide this educational resource to their members. CardioVisual is regularly updated with new information & features based on active feedback from clinicians and consumers to make this a valuable informational platform, like a “Interactive Netflix of Cardiovascular and Diabetes”

CardioVisual provides accurate video explanation of conditions & treatments such as:
• Coronary artery disease (CAD), heart attack, angiogram, radial cath, angioplasty, stent, bypass surgery (CABG) & Cardiac Rehab
• Arrhythmias such as Atrial fibrillation (Afib) with Catheter RF & cryoablation, appendage occluder
• Heart failure & treatments, Cardiomems & VAD
• Stroke types, treatments including carotid stent

Vein ablation has evolved well beyond a single technique.

Today’s options fall broadly into thermal and non-thermal approaches, each with distinct mechanisms, workflow considerations, and patient selection implications.

Thermal techniques rely on controlled heat to induce vein wall injury, fibrosis, and closure, while non-thermal approaches achieve occlusion through chemical, mechanical, or adhesive means, often avoiding tumescent anesthesia and reducing perivenous nerve exposure.

Endovenous RF ablation works by combining accurate catheter positioning, effective tumescence, and controlled segmental energy delivery to permanently eliminate refluxing veins.

Key procedural considerations include maintaining adequate distance from the SFJ to reduce thrombotic risk, using tumescence to optimize vein wall contact and thermal safety, and ensuring uniform energy application to promote durable vein closure rather than partial recoil.

This approach results in venous fibrosis and reliable flow redistribution to competent venous pathways.

As the new year begins, our resolution is clear.

This year, we’re committed to making clinician education more visual, more practical, and more connected to real-world care.

Thank you for learning with us.

Here’s to a year of better learning and better outcomes!

Adhesive vein ablation offers a non-thermal approach to treating chronic venous insufficiency by sealing the target vein with a medical-grade ('glue') cyanoacrylate.

Instead of heat or chemical sclerosant, the adhesive triggers an inflammatory reaction within the vein wall, leading to fibrosis and durable occlusion, while avoiding anesthesia and reducing the risk of thermal nerve injury.

This modality is often considered in patients where minimizing anesthesia, post-procedure compression, or nerve irritation is a priority.

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is often driven by venous valve dysfunction, leading to reflux, venous hypertension, and progressive symptoms over time.

Patients may present with leg heaviness, aching, edema, skin changes, or venous ulcers, often dismissed early but clinically significant when persistent.

Risk factors such as prolonged standing, pregnancy, obesity, prior DVT, and genetics contribute to disease progression, making early recognition important.

Duplex ultrasound remains the cornerstone for diagnosis, allowing assessment of reflux patterns and valve competence to guide management decisions.

Understanding the underlying venous physiology helps differentiate CVD from arterial disease and ensures appropriate evaluation and referral.

Inflammation drives atherosclerosis long before luminal narrowing becomes clinically apparent.

Biomarkers that reflect vascular inflammation and plaque instability help explain why risk isn’t captured by cholesterol alone.

This video focuses on inflammatory and regulatory markers that add context beyond traditional lipid assessment, and why multimarker approaches better reflect plaque behavior.

As clinicians, we know heart health isn’t just procedures and prescriptions, it’s also how people live, rest, and connect.

This holiday season, we hope you find time for rest, meaningful connection, and a slower pace that supports both cardiovascular health and overall well-being.

Wishing you a happy, healthy holiday season from all of us at CardioVisual! ❤️

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease, not a single event. It develops over years, progressing from fatty streaks to lipid-rich atheroma, fibrous plaque formation, and sometimes plaque rupture.

Clinical events are often driven by plaque composition and instability, not just the degree of luminal narrowing.

This framework helps guide risk stratification, preventive therapy, and timely escalation of care.

This visual can also be useful for patient education, to explain why early prevention and long-term risk reduction matter, even before symptoms appear.

Left and right heart caths answer different physiologic questions, and choosing between them often comes down to what you need to confirm hemodynamically:

👉 LHC gives direct visualization of the coronaries but only indirect LV pressure data unless a LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is measured.
👉 RHC provides the complete pressure profile, RA, RV, PA, and wedge, allowing you to differentiate volume overload from pulmonary vascular disease and left-sided causes of dyspnea.
👉 Combining LHC + RHC remains the most accurate way to assess complex heart failure, pulmonary hypertension evaluation, and pre-TAVR workups.
