Congratulations to our very own ‘Doctor (heart) Beat’!

July 17, 2025

Congratulations to our Gwent Cardiac Rehabilitation Trust Fund Chair Brian Begg – or should we say – Dr Begg! Brian has successfully completed his PhD at Cardiff Metropolitan University, focusing on ‘high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity exercise’ in people with coronary artery disease

He received glowing praise from one of his examiners: ‘This was an excellent PhD, led by a brilliantly experienced expert in cardiac rehabilitation…’

Brian’s research is already carrying on the tradition of pioneering cardiac rehabilitation here in South Wales!

(Those eagle-eyed of you may have spotted Brian doing his day job on a recent BBC Wales Tonight news item…)
