All a bit technical for me! What not call the BHF nurses and get a clear and simple translation of this technical stuff, into exactly what’s been happening to you, what you need to look for and what you can do to help.

Hi Hidden

I think it would be helpful for you to contact our heart helpline, to talk to a cardiac nurse about your history and scan results as there's a lot of information to go through. We're open Monday-Friday, 9-5pm.
