Every year on 29th September, the World Heart Federation promotes World Heart Day, calling everyone to promote heart health. This year’s campaign is asking the world to ‘use heart to beat cardiovascular disease’. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels.

“CVDs are the number 1 cause of death globally: more people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause.” (WHO)

‘Using heart’ this year is about using your head, your influence, and your compassion to live a healthy life, promote healthy habits in the community and look for ways to support the most vulnerable members of society.

Get involved this September by:

• Spreading awareness of heart health to friends and family
• Undertaking activities which promote heart health
• Raising awareness on social media
