Looking beyond the expected patient
As a partner of Young EACH, GPCardio is proud to support the Look Beyond The Usual campaign, raising awareness of cardiovascular conditions in younger people.
Young people can and do experience cardiovascular disease and stroke, but they may not fit the image of the “typical” cardiovascular patient.
Symptoms can be attributed to more familiar explanations such as stress, anxiety, tiredness or lifestyle before a cardiovascular cause is considered.
Look Beyond the Usual challenges assumptions about what a person with cardiovascular disease is expected to look like. The campaign encourages healthcare professionals to look beyond age and appearances when symptoms warrant further attention.
