Most people with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) do not know they are at an increased risk of developing a heart condition. This Valentine's Day, we aim to change that!
Love Your Heart is our new online interactive programme that helps people with RA (or other forms of inflammatory arthritis) to understand and manage the increased risk of Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) associated with RA/IA.
The FREE online interactive video programme is an an engaging and educational platform that allows users to:
- understand the reasons why RA increases risk of CVD or heart conditions. You will hear from people with RA who have done this programme in a face-to-face format and benefitted from it
- complete a QRISK®2 assessment - a GP-recognised prediction algorithm for CVD.
- learn how to reduce risk of CVD. The programme features high quality videos from medical experts on exercise, nutrition and stopping smoking amongst other topics.
- set goals and mitigate the risks associated with your condition. Moreover, it sends you all the information automatically via email so that you can keep track!
