THE GOAT
Chronic heart failure is a serious condition that affects many people, and this episode does a great job of explaining the key points. The pathophysiology and causes are explained in a way that's easy to understand, and the section on paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea is particularly helpful for those unfamiliar with it. For everyone managing heart failure, staying informed about treatment options and resources like Vitality Medical reviews https://www.pissedconsumer.com/vitality-medical/RT-F.html can help find the right products for support. It's important to follow medical advice closely and stay on top of any symptoms. This podcast episode is a great starting point for learning more.

Hi mate, love the podcasts. Really concise recaps of every topic so far. I noticed you uploaded Liver Cancer episode into season 1 although it looks like it was meant to be in season 3. Thought I'd let you know incase you hadn't noticed. Keep the episodes coming, very very helpful!
