Pilot project is helping heart attack victims in Gloucestershire, UK

"A pilot project aimed at helping heart attack patients recover more quickly is benefiting Gloucestershire patients. A report published by the British Heart Foundation has found that only 47 per cent of patients in the South West receive cardiac rehabilitation after suffering a heart attack. But it has praised the work being trialled by Gloucestershire Hospitals. In collaboration with Gloucestershire Heart Failure Service, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust's Cardiac Rehabilitation Service has been working towards the development of a multi-disciplinary cardiac rehabilitation pilot programme specifically for patients with chronic heart failure" - Gloucestershire Media
