Heart Surgery in Later Years

Lifestyle changes

In this Heart Surgery in Later Years video, participants explore the lifestyle changes they have had to make following their surgery. This often includes a considerable change in diet to include a high percentage of fruits and vegetables, and only a very low amount of fat. Keeping active is also an important part of the healing process. Participants discuss the changes they have made to their life.

These 'Speaking From Experience' clips offer first hand accounts from people who have undergone heart surgery. They discuss the healing processes and their changes in lifestyle.
