Dr Salman Uddin is a GP who has devoted his working life to providing care and support for patients in the multi-ethnic community of Tower Hamlets, London, where he himself was raised. The father-of-two is passionate about encouraging people of all ages, religions and backgrounds to speak more openly about heart health. This became even more important to Salman after he himself suffered an unexpected heart attack at the age of just 34. It was July 2020, a few months into the first national Covid lockdown and Salman – who has previously taken part in several London Marathons – had just returned from a mid-morning run on his day off from the GP practice when he was taken ill. Now, some three years on Salman is even more committed to frank conversation about heart health issues, and passionate about sharing his own story in the hope that it may help others. On this episode with Sarah Marsh from the BHF, Salman speaks about what it’s like to go from caring for patients to becoming one yourself, the tough mental recovery he faced after his heart attack, work he is doing in his local community and why supporting the BHF means so much to him. Every five minutes in the UK someone has a heart attack, but the BHF is committed to funding research to help more people to survive one – or better yet not have one in the first place.

In the autumn of 2022 Helen and her partner Joe were excitedly awaiting the arrival of their first baby, but at the 20-week scan they started down a path they never thought they would be on. A potential issue was picked up with their baby’s heart. Eventually specialist Dr David Lloyd, whose incredible work into foetal heart development is funded by the BHF, would diagnose a condition called Coarctation of the Aorta. This is where the artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body is narrower than normal.  Helen and Joe’s son Rory went on to undergo corrective heart surgery at just five days old. His diagnosis, and the detailed care plan put in place for him before he was even born was made possible by the incredible technology harnessed by Dr Lloyd and his team at London’s Evelina Children’s Hospital. Dr Lloyd uses prenatal 3D ultrasound MRI scans to create incredibly intricate images of a baby’s heart, and it is thanks to this life-changing science that baby Rory is here and thriving today.  On this episode with Sarah Marsh from the BHF, Helen speaks about what it was like for herself and Joe to come to terms with what their baby would need to cope with at just hours and days old. She talks about the realities of what their little family has lived through during the past year, how BHF-funded research was the game-changer for them and how little fighter Rory is doing now. Helen, Joe and Rory’s family story is one at the heart of the BHF’s Spotlight On campaign.

In August 2022 Macy Allen turned 18. A busy hairdressing apprentice with a second job in a pub and hectic social life with friends and her boyfriend Will, Macy was looking forward to another year of living her life at 100 miles per hour. Instead, at the end of October, life changed for her forever. Macy became seriously ill very quickly, and was suddenly unable to even climb the stairs at home without gasping for breath. After discovering her heart rate was much higher than it should have been she was admitted to hospital and ended up staying there for almost a month. It was suspected she may have inherited cardiomyopathy, and in May 2023 it was confirmed that Macy – along with her older brother Monty – has Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). Macy has also been told she may need a heart transplant in the future.  On this episode with Sarah Marsh from the BHF, Macy speaks frankly about what it’s like coming to terms with having a genetic heart condition in your teens, how she coped with suddenly having to rely on family and friends for the seemingly simplest things, how she’s rebuilt her life in the face of numerous obstacles and now wants to share her story to help others.

On the evening of March 1, 2022, Stuart Waters got home from work and took his two children Sadie and Jude to football training – just like any other Tuesday. Little did he know that later that evening he would suffer a sudden cardiac arrest at the wheel of his car, altering life forever not only for himself, but his wife Leanne, his son and daughter. In the space of a few minutes Leanne was left watching her husband fight for his life just outside the family home, and over the next few months she had to balance supporting Stuart with caring for their children and keeping the life they’d worked so hard to build together afloat.
