This afternoon, I attended Heart Valve Voice’s parliamentary drop-in to mark World Heart Month.
The event was an opportunity to promote heart valve disease awareness and to highlight the importance of screening programmes in the context of heart health.
With an emphasis on the urgency of early detection and the role of revolutionary technology in this, I had the opportunity to receive a digital stethoscope check. This act is simple, but has the potential to make a significant and lifesaving impact when it comes to early detection, and I was interested to learn more about this from clinical specialists.
There is a focus on heart health locally, and I have seen the brilliant work at Harefield Hospital in replacing heart valves. I am grateful to all for their hard work and dedication.
I would encourage residents who have any concerns to contact their GP or visit a pharmacist.
