Research conducted by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) revealed the state of bad heart health in the country, but has developed a plan to fight it.
Britain's heart was revealed in a crisis, and new figures were shocked.
According to the statistics of the British Heart Foundation (BHF), the country's hearts fell more quickly in the early twenties of the twentieth century than any other contract for more than 50 years. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) analysis has found increasing deaths among adults of working age from cardiovascular disease, increased heart failure, increased risk of obesity and diabetes.
Cardiovascular deaths in the work age increased by 18 % since 2019, from 18,693 to 21,975 in 2023, with an average of 420 a week. Since 2020, BHF has found a “worrying trend”, including a 21 % increase in the number of people who were diagnosed with heart failure in the UK, to a record level of 785,000 in March 2024 from 650,000 in March 2020.
They also found a 10 % increase in the number of people diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, with a height of 1.62 million people from 1.48 million over the same time period and 12 % in the number of adults with diabetes, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, with a height of 4.6 million from 4.1 million.
The numbers come on the increasing obesity in all fields, where health experts argue that NHS needs to increase the ability of its factors in weight loss clinics so that pimples and strikes can be cheaply for many of the population with their appearance “outside the patent”.
The new BHF analysis also shows an 83 % increase in people waiting for the treatment of the planned heart hospital in England, from 232,082 at the beginning of the contract to 425372 in March 2025. The heart waiting lists also grew in Scotland and Northern Wales.
BHF said that the transformation follows contracts from progress to almost half of the annual deaths of conditions such as a heart attack and stroke since the 1960s. She said issues such as the increasing unhealthy population, the expansion of health inequality, the effect of Covid, the pressure on NHS, and the lack of work over the past decade had an impact.
The tragic “Matthew Clark” family, from Gilsford, who died from a sudden heart attack in January 2023, is between the ages of only 46 years, knowing the terrible pain of one loss of a heart problem.
On the day when the entire family was recovering from a stomach bug, so Jojo believed a little of her when Matthew painter initially complained about stomach pain and indigestion.
He does not think he can be a problem in his heart.
Shortly after that, Matthew collapsed and went to the heart attack. Jonna's wife performed CPR for 11 minutes until the ambulance arrived and Matthew took to the hospital. She was tragicly, he had the second heart arrest and could not be revived.
Matthew revealed after the death that he had coronary artery disease without symptoms, which led to a heart attack and a subsequent failure of the lower left room in his heart.
“I always thought I knew the symptoms of a heart attack. You are re -operating it in your mind hundreds of times, and when, however, the paramedics said that Matthew's chances of staying almost almost where my hand was, where my hands were my hands,” said Joanna, who was with Matthew for 15 years.
Her family has a family history as well. Her uncle died at the age of 46 from a heart attack, and her father died in 2011 at the age of 64 in the wake of the triple wrap.
Since then, she has been diagnosed with family blood hyperactol (FH), a genetic condition that causes high levels of cholesterol.
Her children, Molly, 10 years old, seventy, have now been examined for FH, and Molly waited the test results to see if she inherited this condition.
Joanna added: “Matthew was the most person I know, as well as the most kind and most charitable. I want to keep his memory alive by raising funds in order to search for heart disease because of the number of people who influence him, and how quickly someone takes.”
After the launch of a new strategy, BHF said that the concentration of investment in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), and data sciences and genes can help revolutionize how the UK prevents and treats cardiovascular diseases.
“It was the worst beginning for a decade of time for a half -century, but we are entering an era of tremendous scientific opportunities that could transform this tide,” said Dr. Sharmin Griffiths, CEO of the Charitable Society.
“By leading the research revolution, we can reverse this disturbing trend and save life more than ever.
“BHF's new strategy will be a key to that, and the next step for us is that we aim to save many harsh families that their loved ones lose very early.”
By 2035, the UK Charitable Society wants to prevent 125,000 heart attacks and standard strokes, reduce early deaths from cardiovascular disease by 25 %, and reduce the number of years lost to heart disease by 25 % by 2035.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare said: “We welcome this new strategy from the British Heart Foundation and appreciate its contribution to our next health plan,” said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.
“We are dealing with the radical causes of heart health by confirming smoking and obesity, as part of our plan to change to convert care from the disease to prevention.
“We also do more tests and survey in society, as well as a greater use of technology to help people manage their conditions closer to the home and reduce hospital cases.”
