The Hospital: Life on the Line

A 48-year-old who thought she had Covid was actually on the brink of heart failure. Then, waiting for an urgent heart transplant, her health took a dramatic turn for the worst.

Margo urgently needs life-saving surgery to fix a faulty heart valve and must undergo a complex five-hour operation. Geoff, 86, is at risk of heart failure but open-heart surgery is too risky at his age.

Dedicated staff at the NHS Golden Jubilee Hospital in Clydebank provide a lifeline to patients, including 54-year-old Andy who had a massive heart attack and now awaits a transplant.
