Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, resulting in 18.6 million deaths a year. It is estimated that 520 million people are currently living with CVD.
World Heart Day (WHD) takes place annually on the 29th of September as part of the global effort to reduce and support patients to better manage CVD.
This day aims to reduce the global impact of Cardiovascular diseases by raising awareness of CVD and helping to better educate the general public on how to control and minimize the risks of developing these diseases.
