The people of Bradford are being asked to join the fight against heart disease and back a campaign which will bring cutting-edge diagnostic equipment to Bradford Royal Infirmary.

The Telegraph & Argus has teamed up with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) to ensure the success of the Beating Hearts in Bradford Appeal.

The BHF launched the appeal in December and has so far raised more than £30,000 towards the £105,000 needed to fund a life-saving heart scanner, called a 3D echocardiograph machine, for BRI.
