On @BBCBreakfast yesterday morning, 400m Olympic silver medallist, @RogerBlack400, shared his experience of living with a heart condition. Going from being diagnosed with congenital heart disease aged 11 to earning a spot as one of world’s greatest sporting accolades and having open heart surgery.
Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, our Clinical Director, joined the Breakfast sofa to explain how heart valves can become damaged, and the importance of attending heart appointments when invited.
It was great to join the @BBCBreakfast sofa today to talk about the importance of learning CPR. Our Chief Executive Dr Charmaine Griffiths was joined by Debra and Graeme Jerdan - Debra saved Graeme's life when he had a sudden cardiac arrest at home. It comes as new data released for Heart Month shows around half of people who live with their partner said the fear of causing harm would make them reluctant to give CPR if someone had a cardiac arrest in front of them.
