Ireland’s heart and stroke charity, Croí, has today launched Heart Valve Disease (HVD) Awareness Week.

When you hear the word stroke, does it fill you with dread and fear? Maybe that is because someone you know or love is affected by the condition. Or perhaps, fortunately, you do not have first-hand experience, but are aware of the statistics surrounding it which make worrying reading. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Ireland with 2,500 stroke related deaths occurring each year. It is also one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.

Croí, the Irish heart and stroke charity, is reminding all adults over the age of 65 years to ask their doctor for an annual stethoscope check. The call comes in advance of International Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week, on September 12-18 which aims to improve diagnosis, treatment and management of heart valve disease.

One of the first things we all heard about the Coronavirus was how those with underlying heart conditions had the worst outcomes. In the early days, as Dr Tony Holohan announced the daily death rate, he would make a special mention of the number of deaths with ‘pre-existing’ medical conditions. This messaging, together with probably the strongest public health messages of all time to ‘stay at home’ has struck fear in the hearts and minds of those living with or caring for those with heart and related conditions.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused great alarm and distress across the country. Understandably, many of those living with heart disease are anxious and concerned.
