HEART ATTACK: Vipan's story

Since his teenage years Vipan has always exercised regularly, a discipline which in later life served as a welcome release from his day to day working demands. At the age of 45 he unexpectedly suffered the first of two heart attacks. In this episode with Rob Underwood from the BHF, he reflects on coming to terms with the initial realisation of what had happened to him. He also talks about the challenges and significant lifestyle adjustments he and his family have since had to overcome. Throughout his 'journey' though, resilience and hope he says, have remained key factors in his recovery as he looks to go forward.
