Heart failure awareness week 2025. #25in25 #detecttheundetected #freedomfromfailure Prevalence estimated to double by 2040 but we can make a difference with prevention, early detection and treatment ! Think HF - fighting for breath , fatigue , fluid build up -BNP/NTproBNP ❤️
66% of patients with symptomatic HCM with outflow tract obstruction improve NYHA class with mevacampten many NYHA I. Game changer for these patients. Fascinating talk from Alison Muir. #mdt25 #freedomfromfailure @BSHeartFailure rate limiting step is lack of echo
THINK AMYLOID! More prevalent than we realise. Look for the red flags. HF nurses are well placed to question red flags and escalate patients for diagnosis and treatment . Geraint Jenkins #mdt25 #freedomfromfailure @BSHNurseForum @WelshHFNF @BSHeartFailure
Genetic screening of inherited cardiomyopathies. Great talk from Julian Omerod. I understand a wee bit more every time ! Kudos to ICC teams #mdt25 #freedomfromfailure @BSHeartFailure
Aaron Wong teaching us the difference in MRAs , which to use when and use in HFpEF. Geographic variation raises questions from topcat ⬆️bnp in americas cohort. Finehearts-HF ? Next pillar in HFpEF ? #mdt25 #freedomfromfailure @BSHeartFailure
@BeckyHyland3 HFpEF many services do not review this cohort and those that do are often understaffed to manage this complex condition #MDT25 #freedomfromfailure
Obesity and HF . Vicky Ruzalla giving a very informative talk. GLP-1a science goes back 1906 first inj 2005! More than weight loss ⬇️ inflammation, fibrosis , lipids, Visceral fat , BP ⬆️ exercise tolerance , QOL . But should people stay on for life ? #freedomfromfailure #mdt25
So proud that our team took part in this

Proud to support BHF today to support the CVD plan. We need action now #25in25
BHF Policy@bhfpolicy.bsky.social · 2y agoToday, we’ve launched a consensus statement, signed by over 45 leading organisations across the CVD sector, calling on the Govt to commit to a National Cardiovascular Disease Plan. 🔗 www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/p...
Huge surprise I was totally shell shocked ! Incredibly proud to receive this award for doing something I love with people who are so special. I’m on cloud 9 !
Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
An early wish for a happy and healthy 2025. Life is too short to dwell on the past. The NY is a symbolic time to let go of past and be happy and grateful for the good in our lives. Thank you to my fantastic friends and family who have been my strength and fed my soul and kept me going in 2024. ❤️

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Making dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients
