Available to patients receiving care at University Hospital Southampton (UHS), the videos explain a wide range of cardiac procedures, outlining the risks, bene ts and possible alternatives in an easy-tounderstand format. While the videos do not replace personalised medical advice, they are designed to support shared decisionmaking by giving patients a better understanding of their procedure before discussions with their clinical team. e impact of the videos has already been felt by patients. Mark Cooper, who watched the animation before receiving a coronary stent, said: “I found the short video very informative and reassuring. It clearly identifies the risks whilst showing me the procedure and, most importantly, the benefits of stents.” we have with patients and encourages shared decisionmaking throughout their care.” Mark Ind, Chief Executive O cer of Heartbeat, said: “At Heartbeat, we are incredibly proud to continue funding this series of animated guides, giving cardiac patients clear, accessible information before they arrive in hospital. Having a better understanding of what to expect can make a real difference to how patients feel, helping them approach their procedure with greater confidence and reassurance.” Heartbeat rst committed funding to the project in January 2021, supporting the creation of 21 procedure animations over ve years. e charity has now renewed its commitment for a further ve years, enabling the development of an additional 27 videos. Together, the expanded library covers everything from routine cardiac procedures to highly specialised treatments, ensuring even more patients and families have access to reliable information when they need it most. Dr James Wilkinson, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at University Hospital Southampton, said: “For many patients, the prospect of a cardiac procedure can be daunting, and it’s not always easy to take in everything discussed during a clinic appointment. These animations give patients and their families the opportunity to understand their procedure in their own time, helping them feel better informed and more confident about what to expect.
