Heart Health, Reimagined with Dr. Mona Shah, MD
You passed your stress test. Your numbers looked fine. And you still don't feel sure your heart is actually okay. That feeling is worth paying attention to.
I'm Dr. Mona Shah, a triple board-certified preventive cardiologist focused on the early detection of heart disease, advanced cardiac imaging, and integrative cardiovascular care. After 20 years in traditional cardiology, I built a practice focused on what medicine too often waits too long to do: find cardiovascular disease before it becomes a heart attack.
On this channel, I share clear, evidence-based insights on heart health, longevity, and prevention. We dig into coronary CT angiography, CAC scoring, plaque detection, cholesterol, ApoB, and advanced lipid testing, plus the lifestyle factors that actually protect your heart: nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, metabolic health, and inflammation. If you've been told everything looks normal but still have questions, this channel is for you.
New videos every week.
