Colourful pill packets arranged to look like a flower
This Wowi Flower framed work is made from medicines currently used to treat diseases of the heart. Considerable crossover exists between treatments so we have displayed them as interlocking petals of one exotic bloom.

Coronary Heart Disease: ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, statins, aspirin and clopidogrel are all regularly prescribed.

Arrythmias: Atrial fibrillation is the commonest disturbance of the heart rhythm and is treated with blood thinning medications including warfarin and Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs).
