Bridging the gap in heart health education.
Across Canada, many communities face higher risk of heart disease because of barriers like language, income, geography, and discrimination. EquaHeart was created to help close that gap through simple, practical, evidence-based teaching—designed with communities, not just for them.
Resident physicians and local partners deliver sessions on the full spectrum of cardiovascular health, including heart attack prevention, heart failure, heart rhythm problems, and valvular disease. Our approach is plain-language, visual, and grounded in real-world challenges.
Community-tailored learning
Sessions adapted to the culture, language, and needs of each group.
Clinician-led, evidence-based
Led by resident physicians with support from cardiology teams.

Heart Failure
Clear, visual teaching to help individuals and families understand symptoms, medications, fluid management, and when to seek care.
Valvular Heart Disease
Easy-to-understand lessons about common valve conditions, tests like echocardiograms, and what to expect during monitoring or treatment.
Arrhythmias & Atrial Fibrillation
Sessions covering AFib, stroke risk, blood thinners, palpitations, and common rhythm monitoring tools.
