Anne Dixon first discovered she had a problem with her heart when she was a student. After an operation, she went back to her normal life, but there was more in store for her in the future.
In this episode, Molly Tresadern from the BHF talks to Anne about how she struggled to get a proper diagnosis, how she now lives with heart failure, and how she became involved in clinical trials to help develop new treatments for others living with heart conditions.
