Czech Alliance for Cardiovascular Diseases (CAKO)

The Czech Alliance for Cardiovascular Diseases (CAKO, Česká Aliance pro kardiovaskulární onemocnění) was established in January 2023 as a patient organisation based in Czechia. It serves as a representative body for patients across various cardiovascular conditions, including dyslipidaemias, familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), hypertension, heart attack survivors, individuals with chronic heart failure, heart rhythm disorders, as well as those with hereditary heart, valve, and blood vessel diseases. Through its advocacy and support efforts, CAKO aims to address the needs of patients affected by cardiovascular diseases and improve their quality of life in Czechia.
