Heartbeat Killarney Kerry is a voluntary Cardiac Support Group for those with heart disease or who have had a cardiac event or stroke in their lives.

Run by heart patients and carers, its objective is to help people to return to living as full a life as possible.

Sharing any worries you may have about your heart with others who have experienced the same things can help remove fear and stress you may be experiencing.

We have information and support available that will help you to make the best plan for your heart. There is support here for YOU.

Heartbeat Killarney Kerry Cardiac Support Group meets on the last Tuesday of every month (except December) at 8pm at our new meeting place at the Community Meeting Room which is located beside the Church of the Resurrection, Park Road, Killarney, V93 WN32.

Membership of the support group is free.

If you have the time and if Heart Failure is a concern among those you love then this presentation tomorrow night is well worth the visit!

Liam Rossiter has been living with heart failure for over 5 years.

in 2017, he began to feel unwell and got worse throughout the year.

Eventually Liam got to the stage where hospital care was inevitable - his breathing deteriorated and he began to turn blue.

On reflection, Liam had been suffering from symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, reduced ability to exercise, and a persistent cough for about six months.

He was diagnosed with heart failure and had a procedure to drain excess fluid in his heart.

Heart failure or heart inefficiency occurs when the heart is not working as well as it should and is not pumping blood around the body efficiently.

Liam experienced a positive recovery but realises not everyone with heart failure has the same experience.

“I’m on the other side now and thankfully able to do everything that I could do before I was diagnosed”

“I have gone from not being able to walk up a short hill a few years ago to going out on the bike now for three and a half hours. I feel I am one of the lucky ones.”

May 1 to 7 is Heart Failure Awareness Week. If you, a family member or someone you care for suffers from Heart Failure, be sure to reach out to us – we are here to support you ❤️

The first event in our “Heart Failure Awareness and Education Series” takes place in Dublin on Wednesday 3 May and we would like to extend a warm invite to all patients, carers and professionals affected by the condition to come along (Link in the comments).

Great idea very best luck to the girls in the final 👏🤞

This is based on a study and very positive results.

Plant stanols can be purchased in LiDl or Aldi. They are as effective as the branded products.

1 yogurt drink a day after your main meal will give you the right amount of stanols to work on your cholesterol
