An independent publishing imprint
Cordate Press publishes physician-authored, evidence-led books for the patient in the exam-room chair — the one who wants to understand their heart, not just be prescribed for it.
We make the kind of book a cardiologist would hand a patient across the desk — carefully sourced, generously illustrated, and written to be read cover-to-cover in a weekend. Every title is authored by a practicing clinician, reviewed against current guidelines, and produced with the craft of a small press.
Catalog
Our launch title, from The Integrative Cardiologist series.
The Integrative Cardiologist · Vol. 1
Help Your Doctor Reduce Your Medication
A patient handbook that translates evidence-based hypertension care into a plan you can start this week — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and the honest math behind the medications your doctor may taper as your numbers improve.
Diet-first management of LDL and Lp(a), with a chapter on when medication earns its place.
A 17-chapter, three-depth patient handbook with original food illustrations.
Full, abridged, and digest editions of a guide to reading — and acting on — your CAC.
Large-print puzzle companions from the Cordate Press waiting-room series.
The imprint
Cordate Press exists to bring rigorous, patient-facing cardiovascular writing into print. We publish deliberately — physician-authored, evidence-led, illustrated with care, and produced for a long shelf life.
Our name comes from cordate, the botanical word for a heart-shaped leaf. The mark — a heart-leaf rising from an open book — is the whole thesis: patient education is what cardiovascular prevention actually grows out of.
Titles are reviewed against current guidelines, set in Cormorant and Inter, illustrated by working artists, and printed on paper we would happily hand across a desk.
