Dr. Gillian Murtagh, a cardiologist and medical director at Abbott, answers cardiovascular questions sent in from members of the Abbott HeartMates community, including:

• How does pregnancy impact a woman’s heart?
• Is there research being done to address the polypharmaceutical nature of heart failure treatment?
• How important is blood pressure cuff placement when checking blood pressure at home?
• Which foods do you recommend – and which do you suggest avoiding – for maintaining a healthy heart?
• Are there any studies being performed for alternative anticoagulants to Warfarin for mechanical valve patients?

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.
