Our modelling shows an optimal aortic stenosis pathway could reduce overall system costs by 51.7% ( around £35,000 per patient) through fewer emergency admissions and shorter hospital stays.

We’re calling on the new UK Government to prioritise cardiovascular disease now and end the heart care crisis.

A new Heart Disease Action Plan is needed. Demand change today: https://t.co/QdliCCC9GP #HeartsNeedMore

A #stethoscope check is the first step to diagnosis. How does it work? 🩺

A normal heartbeat makes a "lub dub" sound. During the check, your doctor will listen to your heart to pick up on any heart murmurs indicative of #heartvalvedisease and refer you for further treatment.

#HeartValveDisease is common, can be life threatening, but is a treatable condition.

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

How many people are aware of and would recognise the symptoms of heart failure? Why is there greater awareness of heart attack, stroke and cancer? Let’s change that together. Please RT https://t.co/AfSGOHVh4n

If you are experiencing a heart or stroke emergency – this is NOT the time to ‘stay at home’ - When your heart says so, #JustGo. https://t.co/khm1t6Qfk3

[APPG for Heart Valve Disease @APPG_HVD]

Thank you to Livvy, Daniel, Alison, Phill and Angie for sharing their experiences of the detection, diagnosis and treatment of heart valve disease. Your personal testimony was incredibly important to us, and we thank you all for taking the time to talk to us today.

[BSE President @BSE_President]

This week @HeartValveVoice launched their 100,000 Conversations campaign. Aiming to start a national conversation about this common, serious but treatable condition. We encourage our membership to #TalkValveDisease and support our friends over at Heart Valve Voice

Delighted to have welcomed Laura Farris MP to our Newbury office. Together we discussed our commitment to improving the lives of patients suffering with structural heart diseases. #ListenToYourHeart

Delighted to have met Raj Hira where we discussed the need for early detection of heart valve disease #preventCVD2020 @PHE_uk

[Prof Jamie Waterall OBE @JamieWaterall]

Our @PHE_uk #preventCVD2020 conference gets underway by @DrSarahJarvis challenging delegates that our job is not done in reducing premature death, ill health & health inequalities from cardiovascular diseases. #SavingHeartsandMinds

[Nick Walker @nick_m_walker77]

Equal access to treatment to tackle structural heart diseases is critical if we’re to reduce health inequalities. The NHS Health Check has a big role to play, but uptake is much higher in certain parts of the country #healthInequalities #preventCVD2020 ⁦@clare_perkins⁩

[Nick Walker @nick_m_walker77]

It is great to be at @PHE_uk Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Conference 2020 discussing a range of critical issues including how we deliver on the #LongTermPlan commitments #preventCVD2020

[Heart Valve Voice @HeartValveVoice]

#heartvalvedisease affects 1.5 million people over 65. Studies show that #heartvalvedisease is expected to increase to 3.3 million by 2056. With the help of new innovations more patients are getting back to enjoying their lives.

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

The #NHSLongTermPlan includes a commitment to improve the support given to people with heart failure and heart valve disease by developing new community based multidisciplinary teams as part of primary care networks. Find out more: https://t.co/oBRjws755T #CVD
