Shining a light on Heart Failure

There is a common misconception that all people who experience heart failure are old, out-of-shape, have bad diets or come from a family with a genetic predisposition to heart problems. This simply isn’t true.

Chronic heart failure is for life, but it doesn’t have to define the lives of you and your loved one. Awareness of symptoms and keeping on top of lifestyle changes can help you and your loved one live life to the fullest.

The term ‘heart failure’, put simply, means that your heart is not quite working properly. It reads like the heart will just stop and give up, but that’s not the case. It’s understandable to be worried by a diagnosis of heart failure, but our mission is to arm you with the best information possible around your condition.
