What people say about Knows Your Heart?
"  I Think your blog if fantastic,  I love it because it`s an area where I thought I knew a small bit but then as I read your blogs I realised I know very little, its really gets you thinking how important cardiac rehab is... You just take your health.... heart health for granted, it such an area of specialism that I really admire about you and your passionate and commitment about it.... :)"
