We are delighted to announce the release of our film Detect the Undetected: Find Me. This compelling film showcases real-life stories of three remarkable couples who share their journey of recognising heart failure symptoms, urging their loved one to seek medical attention, which, in many cases, was a crucial step in saving their lives. #FindMe #IWasFound

Carys Barton, our heart failure nurse consultant, has just been elected Chair of @bsheartfailure – becoming the first specialist nurse to ever hold this position. Swipe left to see how Carys has been preparing for this moment all her life! 💙
 
She shared with us, “Heart failure affects more people in the UK than many cancers, yet it remains under-recognised, underdiagnosed, and too often diagnosed too late. During #HeartFailureAwarenessWeek (and beyond), we have an opportunity to challenge that. Because heart failure is not rare. It is not benign. And crucially, it is treatable. 
 
“We still see patients presenting late, often in crisis, having lived with symptoms for months or even years – and 80% of patients are first diagnosed on admission to hospital. 
 
“Breathlessness, fatigue and leg swelling are symptoms that are frequently dismissed as ageing, deconditioning, or other long-term conditions. By the time heart failure is recognised, patients are often already significantly unwell, which increases morbidity and mortality risk. 
 
“This is not inevitable. The earlier we diagnose and treat heart failure, the better the outcomes.” 
 
Call to action: Educate yourself on the signs and symptoms of heart failure.

Too many patients with heart failure are still being missed because they’re not being coded correctly 🫀

In this week’s episode of Beatwise The Podcast, I sit down with Helen Kilminster to unpack why something that sounds “administrative” can directly impact diagnosis, treatment, funding and ultimately patient outcomes.

We discuss:

▫️ Why accurate coding matters more than most realise

▫️ How missed patients are being found through NT-proBNP and case-finding

▫️ Why inconsistent terminology causes real problems

▫️ How coding shapes commissioning and service design

▫️ Practical ways to improve coding in everyday practice

This is a really important conversation for anyone working in cardiology, primary care, or heart failure services.

Comment PODCAST and I’ll send you the link 🎙️
