Hi everyone, I have Matt Rann back with me for the first time in 2024 and we are talking about heart valve disease and how that mixes with protection insurance. There are a lot of heart conditions that we need to be aware of when applying for protection insurance and many often focus upon the heart muscle and what they are doing. With heart valve disease the focus is specifically upon the valves and how they control the blood flow in the heart.

The key takeaways:

• Understanding what heart valve disease is and what it can meant for a person’s overall health
• The medical information that you need to know to be able to get as accurate an underwriting indication as possible 
• A case study of arranging life insurance for someone living with heart valve disease.

Next time I am doing a slightly different episode to usual. I am going to be talking about business property relief insurance as a product, what it is and how you should advise on it.

Remember, if you are listening to this as part of your work, you can claim a CPD certificate on our website, thanks to our sponsors Octo Members.
