Heart Failure Podcasts

Real People. Real Heart Failure. Real Conversations.

Welcome to the Pumping Marvellous podcast hub, home to patient-led heart failure podcasts from the Pumping Marvellous Foundation, the UK’s heart failure charity.

Our podcasts bring together people living with heart failure, carers, families, nurses, doctors, researchers and heart failure experts to talk honestly about what heart failure really means in everyday life.

From the shock of diagnosis to breathlessness, fatigue, medication, cardiac devices, mental health, carers, appointments and living well, these conversations are here to help people feel more informed, more supported and less alone.

Whether you are living with heart failure, supporting someone who is, or working in heart failure care, our podcasts are designed to give you real insight from the people who understand it best.

You can listen to Pumping Marvellous heart failure podcasts on your preferred platform.
