Angus portrait Sheila portrait
Angus is a 55 year old man who had an myocardial infarction two weeks ago. Angus has been readmitted to hospital a couple of time with chest pain but all his tests are negative. He has been fearful to return to normal life. Sheila is a 76 year old woman who has been given a diagnosis of Heart Failure. She is finding everything a struggle and is having difficult adjusting the changes in her health. As a consequence, she is not socialising as much as previously and is feeling isolated.
