❤️ Heart health starts with a conversation.

Great to bring to Carss Park FC — taking heart health directly into the community, where it can make a real difference.

❤️ Awareness – knowing your numbers and your risk
🩺 Early intervention – identifying potential warning signs sooner
🤝 Community – making heart health accessible and relevant
💬 Conversations – encouraging people to talk about their heart health with family, friends and their GP

Because sometimes a simple conversation — or a simple check — can be the first step towards saving a life.

This is an important breakthrough. Hope something similar happens here in Oz...women deserve better.

After decades of underdiagnosis for women, this is a landmark moment.❤️

Heart attacks have been radically redefined in new international guidelines, which could transform care for tens of thousands of women in the UK.

The new focus on finding three less common causes of heart attacks, which mainly affect women, should ensure more accurate diagnoses and that people are given the best treatments.
