Prompt: explain a cardiology condition to a patient
A reusable prompt that turns a one-line diagnosis into a calm, plain-English explanation for a worried patient — at whichever reading level you choose.
When to use this
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. After a consultation, a patient often goes home with a diagnosis they half-understand. A short, written, plain-English explanation — handed to them with their notes — can reduce return calls and improve adherence.
How to adapt it
Sed do eiusmod tempor. Replace [condition] with your patient’s diagnosis. For a patient
who prefers more detail, increase the word count to 350. For an older patient who prefers a
shorter handout, drop to 120.
