A Lusk man battling a serious heart condition and who also contracted COVID-19, has urged other heart failure patients to embrace new supports set up by the Irish Heart Foundation.
Tom Corr was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in 2009, a disease of the heart muscle which means it pumps only 20% of the blood that it should, and with atrial fibrillation - irregular heartbeat - in 2016.
The 58-year-old married father-of-one, who also experienced two strokes in 2017 and has been fitted with a pacemaker, says that his heart failure condition leaves him tired and lacking the energy for regular activities many of us take for granted.
