Cardiff man finds silent heart attack after charity scan
Simon Morris from Cardiff received a routine cardiac screening funded by a Welsh charity that revealed he had suffered a silent heart attack.
Routine scan reveals blocked arteries
Morris paid £300 for the procedure after his daughter qualified for free screening. Medical tests showed he needed an angioplasty to reopen narrowed arteries supplying blood to his heart.
Patient recalls missed warning signs
Investigations indicated Morris had experienced chest pains during walks with his children but attributed them to stomach issues. He now regrets not seeking help earlier when those symptoms appeared.
Man returns to active life
Following cardiac rehabilitation, Morris has resumed an active lifestyle including climbing Snowdon. He aims to raise £10,000 for Calon Hearts UK which provided the initial scan.
