Are you confused between the terms heart failure and heart attack? Heart failure and heart attack are both forms of heart diseases. Although they have some common causes, they also differ in key ways. This October, the Singapore Heart Foundation has organised the Heart Failure Public Awareness Forum, to help Singaporeans differentiate between a heart failure and a heart attack.

At the forum*, participants will hear from expert speakers on the symptoms of heart failure and how individuals can learn to live with the condition. Topics and speakers are as follows:

- What is heart failure?
Dr Gerard Leong, Council Member, Heart Failure Society Singapore

- Will heart failure change my life?
Ms Jennifer Wong, Advanced Practice Nurse, Tan Tock Seng Hospital

- Exercises for the heart
Ms Tan Ming Fong, Senior Principal Physiotherapist, Physiotherapy Specialists Pte Ltd

- Medications & supplements for heart failure
Ms Chan Li Xin, Pharmacist, Tan Tock Seng Hospital

In addition to the exclusive goodie bag worth $50 (limited to one per person), there will also be light refreshments for all participants. Stand a chance to win attractive prices at the lucky draw too!

*This forum is in English only.

Tickets can be purchased at the Singapore Heart Foundation’s main office at 9 Bishan Place, #07-01 Junction 8 (Office Tower), Singapore 579837.
