Investigated by Dr Michael O'Donnell
First of five programmes Every Three Minutes ...
Maureen, Jo and Sheila are united in grief. They were widowed by the biggest epidemic since the Black
Death. MICHAEL O'DONNELL asks how we can be so complacent when one in four of us will die from heart disease. One life prolonged by a heart transplant makes news, 170,000 deaths a year go almost unremarked.
