The Dutch association for people with cardiovascular diseases

Harteraad is the center of expertise for living with cardiovascular diseases.

We help people and their loved ones by offering practical, social and emotional support.

Working together with highly experienced volunteers throughout the Netherlands, Harteraad offers a safe place for the exchange of knowledge, encounters, and experiences. Our goal is  that you can live your life as fully as possible, despite your condition.

Harteraad advocates the interests of more than 1.7 million people with cardiovascular disease. Because of the knowledge and experiences of these people, Harteraad understands what they are going through and what they need. Harteraad is then able to represent them to the government, scientific researchers, insurers, and healthcare professionals.
