Most people don't have an information problem.
They have a decision problem.
The questions that matter
Heart health is rarely short of opinions.
The difficult part is deciding which recommendations apply to you, which tests matter and what action is justified by your individual level of risk.
Do I need a calcium scan?
Is ApoB more important?
Is my blood pressure high?
Can lifestyle be enough?
Am I already doing enough?
These questions require context, judgement and a clear framework.

About Dr Paddy Barrett
Evidence first. People always.
I am a preventive cardiologist with a particular interest in helping people understand cardiovascular risk and prevent disease before it happens.
After more than a decade in clinical practice and research, I created The Heart Health Formula to cut through the noise and give people a clear, evidence-based way to make better decisions about their heart.
The goal is not to frighten you, overwhelm you or give you another list of rules. It is to help you understand what matters, what does not and what you should do next.
