The Story

Dr. Rajesh Patel spent two decades as an interventional cardiologist, placing stents and saving lives during heart attacks. But he grew frustrated watching patients arrive in the cath lab who could have been prevented - people who didn't understand their risk factors or ignored warning signs. He started YouTube to reach patients before they became emergencies. His content breaks down complex cardiac topics - explaining cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart attack symptoms in ways anyone can understand. He uses EKG readings, angiogram footage (with permission), and anatomical models to show exactly what happens inside the heart. His video explaining the difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest has over 8 million views. Dr. Raj's channel has become a trusted resource for patients preparing for procedures, families understanding diagnoses, and people motivated to prevent heart disease. He's credited by viewers with saving lives through early detection.

I'd rather explain cholesterol to a million people on YouTube than place one more stent that could have been prevented. The cath lab should be the last resort, not the first encounter with cardiology.
