Coronary artery disease

[Gertrude44]

My husband is 75, he has just been diagnosed with CAD, he hasn't had a chance to go to the doctor yet as the specialist told him to get some colesteral tablets which might help him and he will be talking through what they can do next, I assume he is in the at risk category for the Corona virus by age but also for his condition, I am under 70 so it is up to me to go out and get food shopping for us, am I putting him at risk by going out?

Hi Gertrude44. Here’s a helpful resource from the BHF. bhf.org.uk/informationsuppo...

You should exercise ‘social distancing’ when you go out (which should be as infrequent as possible for vital supplies). This resource explains the difference between social distancing and self isolation. bhf.org.uk/informationsuppo...

Good luck. It’s not easy in these difficult times.
