On last night's episode, instead of the theme tune we all know and love, the Coronation Street credits cut to the sound of a flatlining heartbeat. This is the first time that the Coronation Street credits have been modified in the 64 years the soap has been broadcast on TV.
The ad voiced by BHF ambassador and former Corrie actor Kimberly Hart-Simpson, came after heartbroken viewers found out one of the show's most iconic characters, Gail Platt, will be leaving the Weatherfield cobbles after 50 years.
Gail suffered a heart attack before going onto have a cardiac arrest in hospital. She then underwent a lifesaving procedure to stent open the blocked coronary artery that caused the heart attack and to try to prevent any further heart attacks. Thanks to swift medical action Gail survived.
The BHF funds £100 million of new cardiovascular research each year towards new tests and treatments that could help keep families like Gail's together for longer.
Damion Mower, our Director of Brand, Acquisition and Retail Marketing added:
"When Gail joined the Street in the 1960s more than seven out of ten heart attacks were fatal. Today, in part due to medical research funded by the BHF, more than seven out of ten people survive."

Tom Lockyer, @LutonTown captain, survived a cardiac arrest on the field, thanks to CPR.
Every 90 minutes – the length of a football match – at least five people in the UK suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Those who say you should never meet your heroes have clearly never met Messi from 'Anatomy of a Fall.'

According to @TheBHF almost half of UK adults don't know CPR
If you're one of them, watch this quick demonstration. It could help you save a life.
It’s beginning to look a look like a country Christmas!🤠 @CountryLineRad
