It was standing room only last night at the Park Royal in Stretton, as Spire Cheshire Hospital welcomed a full audience for its Heart Health Event — an enlightening and inspiring evening focused on protecting your heart and lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Leading the discussion were Consultant Cardiologists Dr Robert Butler and Dr Fozia Ahmed, who delivered a dynamic presentation filled with practical advice, medical insight, and hope.

The pair guided the audience through ways to manage heart conditions, spot early warning signs, and make small changes that can have a big impact.

One of the most powerful takeaways of the night was the reminder to know your numbers – particularly your blood pressure.

High blood pressure, often called the silent killer, can cause serious health problems without any obvious symptoms. The message was clear: by getting regular checks and understanding your readings, you’re taking one of the most important steps towards a healthier heart.

The consultants also shone a light on cholesterol, explaining that while it’s a natural substance our bodies need, too much of it can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Treatments such as statins remain highly effective, and newer injectable options are now available for some patients, offering even more control and flexibility.

The evening ended on an upbeat note, with guests feeling inspired and empowered to take charge of their own health. Dr Ahmed and Dr Butler emphasised that while genetics can play a role, lifestyle changes and modern medicine together make it possible to live well and reduce risks.

So, could it be time for your own heart health check-up?

The friendly team at Spire Cheshire Hospital can help you understand your numbers and start your journey towards a healthier heart.
