When your heart changes everything - Finbarr Daly’s story

At just 41 years old, Finbarr Daly was fit, active and out for a run when he suddenly collapsed from a heart attack. What followed was a life-changing journey through heart disease, multiple coronary stents, a second heart attack and eventually double heart bypass surgery.

In this episode of SatNaving Life, Finbarr speaks to Carol McGirl about surviving two heart attacks, living with heart disease and the physical and psychological challenges of cardiac recovery.

Finbarr shares how his experience affected his health, family and everyday life, and why understanding your family history of heart disease, recognising potential heart attack warning signs and knowing your cardiovascular risk factors are so important.

Together, they explore heart health, coronary artery disease, heart attack recovery, cardiac surgery, mental health and resilience.

This is an inspiring real-life story about survival, family, recovery and the importance of heart disease awareness.

Because heart disease doesn't always look the way we expect it to, and recognising the signs and seeking help when something feels wrong could save a life.
