On World Heart Day on September 29, which continues its \u201cDon\u2019t Miss a Beat\u201d theme, three prominent cardiologists share their hopes and fears for the future of heart health, the technologies that excite them, the simple daily choices that could save your life, and essential habits they practise to safeguard their own.<\/p>\n

What excites Parekh now is the shift \u201cupstream\u201d \u2013 that is, picking up health hints in vulnerability early to protect the heart later.<\/p>\n
