About iCardio

Icardio was designed as a support tool for patients, and as a supplement to medical consultation. Written in layman's terms, icardio will help you better understand your condition and better inform your family members and friends. This website is a source of information for people who want to know more about cardiology.

Icardio is also a reference tool for physicians who care about a patient's understanding of a condition, a test or a treatment.

Enjoy !
