Detect the Undetected: Find Me. Make sure to watch the film this Heart Failure Awareness Week! #FindMe #HeartFailureAwarenessWeek

[British Society for Heart Failure (old account) @BSHeartFailure]

We are delighted to announce the release of our film Detect the Undetected: Find Me.

This compelling film showcases real-life stories of three remarkable couples who share their journey of recognising heart failure symptoms, urging their loved one to seek medical attention, which, in many cases, was a crucial step in saving their lives.

#FindMe #IWasFound @thebeautifultruthmag

[British Society for Heart Failure (old account) @BSHeartFailure]

Together, we can fight heart failure. Look for the signs: unusual fatigue, feeling breathless, and fluid build up. Early detection can mean freedom from failure. Use and share our infographics here: https://t.co/diwLn4LVM2 #IWasFound #FindMe #25in25 #DetectTheUndetected

High blood pressure contributes to around half of all heart attacks and strokes in the UK. 🫀

Even at moderately high levels it can increase your risk of heart disease. It's important to measure it regularly.

You can get a reading at the health station near our main entrance.
