Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of premature death in the UK, with cities like Manchester experiencing disproportionately high rates, most especially ethnic minorities. Yet the message at the heart of this series is one of hope: much of CVD is preventable. Through honest conversation, expert insight, and lived experience, Cardio Conversations aims to raise awareness, inspire action, and remind listeners that it is never too early or too late to care for your heart.
