We have recorded a series of education sessions which you can access. These will give you more information about your heart and how to help yourself.
We also provide a wide range of written information and leaflets for patients and their family to take away with them.
Information sessions include:
- healthy eating – information on a heart-healthy diet, tips on losing weight and food labelling
- benefits of exercise – general advice on what exercise to do and how to do it safely.
- understanding your heart – how the heart works, what can go wrong, what treatments are available and what all the tests mean
- medicines for the heart – an explanation of what the cardiac pills are for, why it is important to take them and what the side effects can be
- how look after your heart in the long term – what you can do to help keep your heart healthy, the common risk factors (e.g. blood pressure, cholesterol etc) and what warnings signs you should let your GP know about to trigger a referral back to Cardiology.
