Heart Failure (HF) care in the UK is in need of change. There are astonishing figures around the misdiagnosis, late diagnosis, emergency hospital admissions and mortality rates for patients with HF. In this podcast, Dr Clare Taylor (GP with a research interest in heart failure) and Nick Hartshorne-Evans (CEO and founder of the Pumping Marvellous Foundation) discuss the importance of detecting HF early and how GPs can support this to ensure evidence-based treatments are delivered sooner, emergency hospitalisations are prevented, and the quality and longevity of patients’ lives are improved.
