Happy ! Today we're putting a spotlight on men's heart health, because it's more important than ever to be .❤️

We recently launched our "63-Year-Old Reality Check" campaign, revealing that the average age of patients coming to our Rapid Cardiac Care is just 63.

But here's another crucial fact: men tend to experience cardiac arrest younger than women (HSE OHCAR 2023). However, the good news is that up to 80% of premature cases are preventable.

This , we're asking you to remind the men in your life to give their heart health the attention it deserves.
