On Friday 29th September it's World Heart Day.

World Heart Day is a reminder for everyone to take care of their hearts as cardiovascular disease continues to be the world’s number one killer.

To discuss this for the 50th episode of Our People Podcast we joined Consultant Cardiologist Mickey Jachuck and Senior Chief Physiologist in Cardiology Joanna Spence.

They talk about the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest, the importance of learning how to do CPR and lifestyle changes that could help prevent any future heart problems.

Mickey also speaks about taking part in this year's Great North Run and his memories of being one of the four NHS official starters for the half marathon in 2021.
