About this site

Ceric.se is an independent information site about cardiovascular health and inflammation. We explain, in plain English, how conditions such as high blood pressure, heart valve disease and rheumatoid arthritis affect the heart, and what everyday habits can do to protect it.

Who the site is for

The site is for anyone who wants to understand their heart health better: people who have been told their blood pressure or cholesterol is high, people living with an inflammatory disease, relatives, and readers who simply want to stay healthy. The articles can help you prepare questions for your doctor and make sense of the answers.

How we write

• We base our articles on established medical knowledge and public health guidance, such as advice from the WHO and national health services.
• We describe what is known and what is uncertain, and we avoid promises.
• We do not sell treatments, supplements or consultations, and we do not publish testimonials.

About the domain

The domain ceric.se was once used by a Stockholm research centre for inflammation and cardiovascular disease, and later by a commercial website. Ceric.se today is an independent guide and has no connection to the former research centre, to Karolinska Institutet or to any clinic.

Important

The information on this site is general and does not replace an examination or advice from a doctor. If you have symptoms such as chest pain, sudden breathlessness, fainting or signs of a stroke, call your local emergency number straight away.
