Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a broad term for many conditions that can affect your heart. Knowing the difference between these conditions, and which symptoms they cause, can be important.
What Is Geriatrics, and Why Is This Specialty Important?

As people age, they are more likely to have multiple chronic conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Geriatricians are trained to manage these complex conditions and to help patients navigate the often-complicated treatment regimens.
Teaching Your Kids to Take Medicine Safely

Whether your child needs an occasional over-the-counter remedy or has an ongoing prescription, talking about it openly can help them stay safe. It also eases them into taking responsibility for it as they grow older. The time you spend teaching them now can help children avoid substance misuse, abuse, and addiction later in life.
Don’t Explain Away the Subtle Signs of Heart Trouble

Too often, issues like shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness and intermittent chest pain are chalked up to old age. But these may be symptoms of a heart condition called aortic valve stenosis, a narrowing of the opening between the heart’s left ventricle and the aorta, the largest artery in the body.
What are the symptoms of a Stroke? When should I seek treatment?

About 700,000 Americans each year suffer from a stroke. A stroke is an attack on your brain. Strokes occur when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked by a clot or bursts.
