The Irish Heart Foundation’s ‘Faces of Heart Failure’ campaign aims to showcase the different people who are living with or caring for people with heart failure.
It is estimated that 90,000 people live with heart failure in Ireland.
This year, the European Society of Cardiology’s Heart Failure Awareness Week takes place from 5th – 11th May 2025, with the theme ‘Heart Failure Doesn’t Stop Us.’
Through their lived experiences, they share a range of symptoms, risk factors, invisible impacts, and reasons why heart failure doesn’t stop them.
