Heartlink was privileged to get an informative and highly relevant presentation about common HEART MEDICATIONS from Dr Karagiannis at our July 4th Meeting. Despite it being Election Day, we had a great turnout of 50 members and supporters. Dr Karagiannis is a highly experienced Consultant Cardiologist at Hillingdon Hospital and at the Transplant Department, Harefield Hospital.
He explained in a very clear and easy to understand manner the difference between medications that extend our lifespan, and those that reduce symptoms and give us a better quality of life. He concentrated particularly on medications to address heart failure, those given after heart attacks and heart surgery, medications to tackle the high levels of cholesterol and those for irregular heartbeat and AF. He outlined the most common medications for each of these, their purpose and when they are used. In some cases cardiologists have to try different but similar medications on a patient to obtain the best result.
He then spent 45 minutes dealing with a lot of detailed questions from our members, who widely viewed the session as one of our best.
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the recent passing of our friend and long-standing member, Jack.
Jack, together with his wife Sylvia, served on the Heartlink committee for many years, making significant contributions to helping heart patients in the community.
Our thoughts and condolences are with his family in this sad time. Jack’s funeral was held on Tuesday, 23rd July, at Breakspear Crematorium.
We are always looking for new members and helpers.
