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

@BeckyHyland3 HFpEF many services do not review this cohort and those that do are often understaffed to manage this complex condition #MDT25 #freedomfromfailure

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
