Driving EU Leadership for Cardiovascular Health

This World Heart Day, the European Heart Network (EHN) reaffirms its commitment to leading the charge for better cardiovascular health across Europe.

On World Heart Day, the European Heart Network (EHN) calls on policymakers across Europe to take urgent, coordinated action to improve cardiovascular health. With cardiovascular diseases (CVD) as the leading cause of death in Europe, EHN advocates for policies that promote healthier living environments, prioritise prevention, and strengthen health systems. Investing in early detection, prevention, management, and research is critical to reducing the burden of CVD and ensuring that all Europeans have access to quality care. EHN’s seven-year strategic plan underscores our vision for a future where cardiovascular health is prioritised, and premature, preventable deaths are reduced by 30% by 2030.

To support our mission and raise awareness this World Heart Day, the European Heart Network (EHN) provides a range of resources for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the public.
