Heart Information

Your heart is a muscle that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood provides your body with the oxygen and nourishment it needs to function. Waste products carried by the blood are removed from the body by the kidneys and lungs.

In this section you'll find information on how your heart works, how to lead a healthy lifestyle, heart and blood vessel conditions, and diagnosis and treatment of heart problems.

We have produced a variety of heart health information for patients, their families and the general public.
