It’s Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week, led by the Heart Valve Disease Patient Network at Global Heart Hub.

Heart valve disease can develop quietly. Symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue or dizziness may not appear for years…or may not appear at all. Sometimes, the first sign is a heart murmur — a subtle change in the sound of blood flowing through the heart.

It’s not something you can hear yourself, but your doctor can with a simple stethoscope check… the first step in detecting heart valve disease. Listening for the sound of a heart murmur can be life-saving, so ask your doctor to listen to your heart. 🩺

🎉 Exciting news alert - We are finalists! 🎉

Heart Support Australia and Advara HeartCare are honoured to be named as a Finalist together for Advocacy Champion in the Top Podcasts and Vodcasts category at this year’s Health Industry Hub Catalysts for Change Awards.

🎙️ World Heart Day sparks call for a ‘real shift’ in priorities and mindset, as leaders from Advara HeartCare and Heart Support Australia bring the patient and clinician voices together to explore the challenges facing cardiovascular healthcare in Australia.

A huge thank you to Advara HeartCare CEO Dr David O'Donnell for being part of this important conversation with our CEO Dr Christian Verdicchio and discussing the barriers experienced by both patients and clinicians across our healthcare system.

Thank you to Rozalina Sarkezians and the Health Industry Hub team for creating the opportunity for this conversation to happen and for helping bring these important issues to the attention of the sector.

Being recognised as a finalist is an incredible honour, but more importantly shows how clinicians and consumers can work together to help amplify the call for meaningful change in cardiovascular healthcare. ❤️

It truly is a meaningful partnership between Advara HeartCare and Heart Support Australia 🤝
