Consumer Resources for Heart Health

February is American Heart Month. If you’re looking to learn more about heart disease and how to prevent it, GALILEO offers some great consumer health resources.

Consumer Health Complete provides fact sheets, evidence-based reports, drug and herb information, medical encyclopedias, images, videos, and more. Search for heart health or other topics to find information. If you would like to keep up with a particular topic, search for that topic in Consumer Health Complete and then click “Create alert for this search” at the top of the screen to receive emails when a new item related to your topic is added to Consumer Health Complete.

MasterFile Premier also offers several consumer health magazines, such as Consumer Reports on Health, Health (Time, Inc.), Prevention, Harvard Health Letter, Harvard Men’s Health Watch, and Harvard Women’s Health Watch. If you would like to know when a new issue of any of these publications has been added, just click the magazine title in the previous sentence and then click the Alert/Save/Share link at the right of the publication record to set up an Email Alert.
