HeartValveSurgery.com is the world's largest educational resource and community of heart valve patients that is followed by 500,000+ people across social media. The website was founded by Adam Pick, a heart valve patient, who has been featured by the American Heart Association, BusinessWeek and The Wall Street Journal for his work as a patient advocate and high technology consultant. From 2020 to
2024, HeartValveSurgery.com achieved the #1 ranking in FeedSpot’s “Top Cardiac Surgery Blogs & Website”. Last year, over 1 million patients and caregivers visited this unique website which provides heart valve surgery resources including an online community, a heart valve learning center, an interactive blog, a surgeon finder, a heart hospitals directory, educational videos and more. HeartValveSurgery.com's founder, Adam Pick, underwent double heart valve replacement surgery in 2005. As he navigated this physically and emotionally challenging experience, he discovered a need for educational materials for other patients like himself. Adam wrote "The Patient's Guide To Heart Valve Surgery," a comprehensive book that supports patients and caregivers throughout the entire therapeutic process. Adam then created HeartValveSurgery.com to address the growing medical burden of heart valve disease which remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. During the past 18 years, the website has become the leading resource for patients and their families from diagnosis through recovery. To learn more, please visit https://www.heartvalvesurgery.com/.
