The Irish Heart Foundation is at the centre of a national drive to provide vital back-up to patients who need help coping with the illness.
“People often feel shock, trauma and isolation after a diagnosis of heart failure, but with the right supports, it is manageable,” said Lucinda McNerney, the Irish Heart Foundation’s Heart Failure Programme Manager.
