As we get older, it becomes more and more important to make sure our heart health is in order.
Neglecting this could lead to heart failure, which means the vital organ is unable to perform the crucial task of pumping blood around the body.
The condition doesn't mean your heart has stopped working completely, but it does cause it to stiffen up or become weaker, which can affect how well it works.
The Express reports that when this happens, your heart may need some extra support to help it work properly.
Professor Anthony Mathur, Cardiologist and Trustee of the Heart Cells Foundation, suggested that this is where stem cell therapy could step in. The treatment could help enhance your overall heart health.
Here he's answered some common questions about heart failure, including some of the early warning signs.
What are the early signs of heart failure?
Professor Mathur said: "One noticeable indication is feeling breathless, particularly during physical activity but also when at rest. Another key indicator for potential heart failure is an unusual level of fatigue and weakness.
"In heart failure, the heart may encounter challenges in supplying adequate oxygen and nutrients to the body, resulting in insufficient blood supply to vital organs and muscles. This can lead to an overwhelming sense of tiredness.
"Additionally, swelling is an early sign as the body may retain fluids, causing the legs, ankles, feet, or abdomen to swell. An irregular or fast heartbeat is another early warning sign to look out for."
He also said that persistent coughing with blood and wheezing may be a sign that there is fluid in your lungs. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's best to seek help as soon as possible.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Palestinian refugees have been arriving in the slum district of Sabra and Shalila on the outskirts of Beirut since what Israel calls the War of Independence in 1948. Forty-four years later, their presence (and that of suspected PLO fighters) got targeted in a mid-September massacre by the Christian militia known as Lebanese Forces, executed while Israeli Defense Forces who’d already invaded the nation three months prior stood by. Another four decades have passed since, during which span the area has remained not just a last-resort magnet for multinational refugees, but “the most lawless, poorest, dirtiest place” in the city.
