Heart failure

Overview

In this section you can find out about the experience of heart failure by seeing and hearing people share their personal stories on film. Our researchers initially travelled all around the UK to talk to 40 people in their own homes. Analysis of 7 new interviews was added in 2014 to help keep the site up to date. In 2016 a further 16 new interviews were added as part of wider project about monitoring of long term conditions. Find out what people said about issues such as diagnosis, treatments, monitoring and impact on lifestyle. We hope you find the information helpful and reassuring.
