Heart disease affects thousands of people in Ireland every year, but understanding your heart doesn’t have to be complicated.

We’ll be talking about everything from the early warning signs of heart trouble, to what happens during a cardiac event, to how you can live well with a long‑term heart condition. If you’ve ever wondered what symptoms you shouldn’t ignore, how treatments work, or what you can do to protect your heart every day, this conversation is for you.

With insights from cardiology experts, lived‑experience stories, and the Irish Heart Foundation, this episode will leave you feeling better informed and empowered to look after your heart.
