The Irish Heart Foundation is urging the estimated 10,000 people living with heart failure in Cork to engage with new supports it has established during Covid-19 restrictions.
The charity has responded to a sense of isolation felt by people living with heart failure, a condition which has a lower survival rate than many cancers.
Heart failure or heart inefficiency occurs when the organ is not working as well as it should and does not pump blood around the body efficiently.
With almost 900 new cases every year in Cork, the Foundation’s new support service will help thousands of people nationwide to live normal, full and active lives with their condition.
