Before the pandemic, we needed to get a grip on heart failure. However, the pandemic has complicated the heart failure revival due to the burden of COVID-19 and the by-product of patients with long-term conditions, particularly cardiovascular.

We know nearly all our patients are in the secondary prevention space. These are people who have one or numerous other cardiac-related conditions and now also need to manage a diagnosis of heart failure. When we ask them what they would want to change, they always come up with these four points. Firstly, they want greater recognition of heart failure symptoms in primary care.
