HEART ATTACK: Chris's story

Chris was enjoying a fulfilling, active retirement particularly relishing the chance to take part in his weekend park runs. In this episode with Rob Underwood from the British Heart Foundation, he nevertheless describes how he was first faced with processing the devastating news of his heart attack, then the subsequent realisation of unexpected triple bypass surgery. After following a steady recovery path though he's now returned to his full and active lifestyle and is, in his words, "feeling better than before". Chris's story is one at the heart of the BHF's Spotlight On campaign. You can find more information here: https://spotlighton.bhf.org.uk/hidden-heart-conditions
