The Naked Heart is a weekly series of blogs and social media publications from English cardiologist Dr Edward Leatham. His brief is to apply 50 years of ”breathing and practicing” cardiology to make his day to day job more about educating patients than simply just diagnosing and treating them. ”The only way modern medicine can cope with the ever increasing demand is by educating our patients on basic principles and then encourage every patient to become their own physician, guided by their doctors” These podcast publications are AI constructs created to broaden the audience in an attempt to explain quite complicated, yet important facts thus sharing advances in medical knowledge with more people, ideally even before they become our patients. Each podcast is designed to broadcast alongside a weekly blog article with multiple reels and posts on social media, all accessible for free and without any product advertising via https://www.scvc.co.uk/category/naked-heart/
