What is World Heart Day?
World Heart Day drives action on a global scale. One in five people will die early from cardiovascular disease (CVD), which claims more lives than cancer and chronic respiratory diseases combined. Yet, up to 80% of heart disease and stroke cases are preventable.
That’s why, every 29 September, we celebrate World Heart Day to raise awareness of CVD and the importance of taking care of your heart. From individuals, families and schools to community groups and governments, we work together to make equitable heart health a priority and drive change across the globe.
