Your Heart Matters - Free Heart Check Event
Join us at Asda Slough Superstore for a day dedicated to heart health! Cardiology Experts from Frimley Hospital NHS Trust will be offering free heart checks to all attendees.
It is estimated that in Slough alone there are over 5,000 people aged 60+ living with undiagnosed Heart Valve Disease (HVD). Cardiologists at Wexham Park Hospital, part of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, are particularly concerned about lower diagnoses in South Asian populations and are holding a free event in May offering free heart checks.
HVD occurs when one or more of the heart's valves fail to function properly and complications, like heart failure, can have serious consequences. HVD causes symptoms such as breathlessness, weariness and fatigue, but symptoms can be mild and often mistaken for normal ageing.
Don't miss this opportunity to take charge of your heart health - whether you're worried about recent symptoms or simply looking for peace of mind. Mark your calendar now!
The Your Heart Matters truck is coming to Slough Friday 9th May and is inviting anyone aged 60+ to attend a free heart check, whether from the South Asian Community or not. The truck will be at the Asda Superstore in Slough and will be open from 10am until 3pm.
