BEAT to TREAT: Why Delays in Heart Failure Care Are Costing Lives

When it comes to heart failure, time matters.


But where do we lose it?


In this episode of Heart Failure Unfiltered, Nick Hartshorne-Evans CEO of the Pumping Marvellous Foundation, explores one of the most critical gaps in NHS cardiovascular care:


👉 The delay between first symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.

💡 What this episode covers:

Why heart failure diagnosis is often delayed

The early signs patients notice before the system does

Where care gets stuck between diagnosis and action

What makes clinicians hesitate — and what helps them movefaster

Why knowing what to do isn’t the same as doing it

⚡ Introducing BEAT to TREAT

A model designed to shorten the time between concern andcare.

This episode explores:

What problem BEAT to TREAT is solving

How it accelerates decision-making and treatment initiation

Why traditional pathways can slow things down

Where speed makes the biggest difference for patients

🔍 The critical questions:

Where do we wait when we shouldn’t?

Where could we move faster?

And what would patients feel first if we got this right?

🎯 The reality:

If time is one of the biggest determinants of outcome inheart failure…

Why do we still accept delay as part of the pathway?

🔎 Who this is for:

GPs, nurses, and Primary Care teams

Cardiologists and specialist services

NHS commissioners and ICS leaders

Anyone involved in improving cardiovascular pathways
