We are calling for the government to make Heart Failure a national priority and to publicly raise awareness of HF symptoms.
This will reduce the impact and burden of HF on the patients and the NHS (currently costing £2 billion annually) and reduce the high numbers of patients being cared for in hospital (where 80% of patients are currently diagnosed) to instead being cared for from home.
Early diagnosis does not just save lives; it transforms them.
Now is the time to act.

🫀Nearly 200,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with heart failure each year, and this is rising.
@DrRanj shares key signs to look for and ways to increase your heart health.

Cranks Bob & Ged were both speaking in the House of Commons last week in support of the British Society for Heart Failure’s ‘25 in 25’ initiative.
The BSH is committed to reducing heart failure deaths by 25% over the next 25 years, saving 10,000 lives annually.
Go Cranks!
