Summary of this site:
The HH (Healthy Heart) and RTV (Run, Test & Verify) cycles provide strong protection against most heart diseases that can lead to heart attacks. However, it’s important to address certain special cases that may directly or indirectly contribute to heart disease. These include gum disease and specific infections such as COVID-19 or other severe illnesses (as highlighted by Harvard Health Publications). Therefore, alongside maintaining the HH and RTV cycles, it’s crucial to consider these additional factors to ensure comprehensive protection against heart disease and heart attacks.
Finally, it is important to note that these cycles are not the treatment for the heart disease or heart attack. It is only meant to be used as preventive care. If somebody already has a heart disease, heart attack, hypertension or diabetes, he or she needs to see the doctor for the proper treatment. But still, the processes used in these cycles can be very helpful to prevent further deterioration to one's health. It is hypothesized that individuals with a genetic predisposition to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension may benefit from adopting the HH (Healthy Heart) and RTV (Run, Test & Verify) cycles early in life. Regular health monitoring and timely consultations with a healthcare professional could further enhance the effectiveness of these preventive measures in mitigating the risks associated with these diseases.
Author's Note:
When I saw one of my coworkers and two other friends die one after another within a short period of time from a heart attack, it was very difficult for me to tolerate this kind of life loss. It hurts my mind all the time. I could not forget them from my memory because these people were still young and energetic. They could have survived for a long time if they had not had a heart attack. Nowadays, it is seen that most people die due to heart disease as well as heart attacks. It is one of the leading causes of death in every country in the world. This heartbreaking situation inspired me to write this website.
The RTV and Healthy Heart (HH) cycles are concepts I have developed based on my own ideas, research, and practical experiences, which I incorporate into my daily life. These include regular activities such as running, yoga/asanas, meditation, and other exercises, along with systematic diagnostic checkups like lipid panel tests and scans. Additionally, my professional experience and insights have influenced this approach. For example, the PDCA cycle—originally developed by Walter Shewhart and later refined by Dr. William Edwards Deming—is a practical framework for problem-solving and continuous improvement in various fields like manufacturing and management. I have adapted similar principles to improve human health and well-being.
The website also includes important information sourced from various references, which are cited in each section. For individuals unable to perform the RTV cycle, alternatives such as jogging, walking, or adaptive exercises are suggested. People with disabilities or those using wheelchairs can engage in swimming, wheelchair workouts, hand cycling, or other upper-body exercises with proper training. Additionally, diagnostic tests and result verification remain integral, even after these alternative forms of exercise.
For more details about exercises tailored for disabilities, please visit the homepage.
I firmly believe that if someone follows these two cycles diligently and adheres to the risk factors and preventive measures discussed earlier, they can protect themselves from heart disease (and heart attacks) and lead a long, healthy life. There is no doubt about this. My humble effort will be successful if people join my HPC club and take in the benefits of a fuller, healthier life.
This is my virtual HPC (Heart Preventive Care) club. In the future, I plan to expand this concept into a physical club that can be incorporated into our daily lives. In the physical club, members can engage in a variety of aerobic exercises tailored to individual needs while following the HH and RTV cycles step by step. We can also arrange lipid panel tests and other necessary health assessments as needed. Obviously, a physical HPC club could offer even greater benefits than the virtual version.

Those who died from the heart disease and heart attack, and for the benefit of all mankind.
