This National Cholesterol Month, Team Loch Duart is taking part in the 'Great Cholesterol Challenge', as they collectively travel the 641-mile distance from their home at Badcall Bay in Northwest Scotland to our HEART UK HQ in Maidenhead.
This World Heart Day, we are proud to be launching our report on ‘The Future of CVD Care in an Evolving System’.
NICE is recommending a new medicine for cholesterol as an option for people who have already had a stroke or heart attack and are not responding to other cholesterol-lowering treatments.
Stakeholders can comment until 13 October on the most wide-ranging and comprehensive review NICE has ever carried out. The public consultations cover proposed changes to the way NICE develops recommendations across its health technology evaluation programmes and proposals to clarify the topic selection and routing criteria used to determine what treatments, devices or diagnostics are selected for NICE guidance development.
Thanks to the effort of HEART UK, ambassadors and supporters thousands of toddlers will be screened for an inherited gene that can cause early heart disease as part of a new national pilot programme.
Over the next two years, 30,000 children across England will be assessed using a heel prick blood test to identify if they have a ‘faulty gene’ which causes familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH).
Loch Duart is a small independent farm who have been gently nurturing their Scottish salmon in the crystal-clear waters off the northwest coast of Scotland for over 20 years. Their aim is to produce the best quality salmon with the lowest impact on the environment.
By entering the partnership with HEART UK, Loch Duart aims to raise awareness of the benefits of eating their salmon as part of a balanced diet which can help contribute to the normal function of the heart.
* Loch Duart salmon is high in omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA). EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.
We are extremely proud of what we have achieved during the pandemic to support so many more people needing our help, despite losing a third of our income.
We are working hard to ensure that people with high cholesterol are detected as early as possible and receive the support they need to prevent premature death and improve health and wellbeing.
We’re with you every step of the journey!
