Heart Attack: A Guide To Your Recovery
Bill Paterson introduces patients and carers who describe their experience of heart attack, their recovery and share their feelings about the future.

Living With Heart Failure

CHSS produced a video / DVD called Living With Heart Failure. Presented by Tom Cotcher, it features people who have had heart failure and looks at the practical steps that can be taken to control and monitor their condition once a diagnosis of heart failure has been made.
A Living With Heart Failure booklet accompanies the video / DVD with a special pocket at the back to hold medicines and weight charts.
