Episode 9 - Understanding Heart Failure

Heart failure. Two words that land like a door slamming shut. Today we open that door — what heart failure actually is, the two main types (HFrEF and HFpEF), what the NHS can do about it, and how to keep living a life that still feels like yours. Featuring Gareth from Bradford, quadruple therapy, ICDs, LVADs, and the honest truth about the 50% survival statistic. With five practical things to do after your diagnosis today. This is not medical advice — this is the conversation a friend who has been there would have with you on the bus home. Sources: NICE NG106, British Heart Foundation, NHS Blood and Transplant.
