Welcome to the Patient Matters Podcast, a podcast developed to explain common and sometimes complex medical issues in a way that can't always be done in a standard GP appointment.
In this episode I discuss the basics of heart failure, an increasingly common heart condition. I'll go through common symptoms, how it's diagnosed and some simple things you (or your relatives) can do to help manage it.
