VALVE REPLACEMENT: Jason's story

Jason Doyle was living a full-on life: working long hours on a trading floor, spending time with his family, and fitting in tennis and triathlons. Everything changed when he discovered that he had a bicuspid valve and would need open heart surgery to replace it. In this episode, Molly Tresadern from the BHF talks to Jason about how he went about preparing for his major surgery, how he managed difficult conversations, and what he now has in common with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
