Today is World Heart Day and a new opportunity to reflect on how to best use the heart for the benefit of humanity and nature. This year’s campaign is “Don’t miss a beat”, and the World Heart Federation calls for participation on a public petition to all governments and decision-makers to implement an action plan to defeat heart disease, the world’s biggest killer and responsible for one in five premature deaths.
This day emphasises the importance of continuous vigilance in heart health, encouraging individuals to be proactive, not to ignore warning signs, promote lifestyle changes, schedule regular check-ups, and seektimely medical attention to prevent cardiovascular disease-related deaths.
