Heart Attack
Full Fact provides independent, evidence-based fact checks about heart attacks and related health claims.
We investigate misinformation about symptoms, causes, prevention and treatment—drawing only on reliable medical evidence and guidance from trusted bodies such as the NHS, NICE and the British Heart Foundation.
Each article is reviewed for scientific accuracy and explains where claims are unsupported or misleading.
Evidence you can rely on
Fact checking claims made by politicians, public figures and viral online content can give you the full picture backed by the evidence.

Our fact checks are free to read but not to produce, so you will also get occasional emails about fundraising and other ways you can help. You can unsubscribe at any time.
