Heart Valve Voice News

Heart Valve Voice proudly announces that its educational video "SLOW" has reached an impressive milestone of one million views. The video, launched as part of a broader campaign to raise awareness about heart valve disease, aims to educate the public on recognising key symptoms through the acronym SLOW: Shortness of breath, Lightheadedness on exertion, feeling Older than your years, and Weary.

As a clinician who works across primary and secondary care, I've encountered countless patients whose lives have been significantly impacted by heart valve disease. Recognising the symptoms early on and seeking timely medical attention can make a huge impact in managing this condition effectively and ensuring optimal outcomes. It is essential we empower people with the knowledge and tools to recognise symptoms, communicate effectively with their GP, and take proactive steps towards diagnosis and timely treatment.
