Dr. Christopher Piorkowski, a chief medical officer at Abbott, answers cardiovascular questions sent in from members of the Abbott HeartMates community, including:

-What do you think is the coolest thing about the heart?

-What makes fat and cholesterol build up in your arteries?

-How do surgeons see what they’re doing in the heart?

-It seems like every week a new study says people should eat a handful of this berry or a cup of that vegetable. Do these things actually make a difference?

-Can someone just naturally have a faster heartbeat than “normal”?

The Abbott HeartMates program celebrates the bravery in those with cardiovascular conditions, the teams of families, friends and caregivers who support them, and the heroes providing the medical care need to help people make their comeback. By creating a community in which members can share stories, connect with others going through similar heart-health journeys and receive emotional support, Abbott hopes to inspire people and ensure that no one faces these health challenges alone.
