Every year, World Heart Day is celebrated on September 29th. It is a day that aims to create awareness about the need for healthy lifestyles to prevent cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, while also highlighting the importance of prevention, treatment and research. The idea of conducting this event came from Antoni Bayés de Luna, then president of the World Heart Federation. Originally, World Heart Day was observed on the last Sunday of September, and the first celebration took place on 24th September 2000.
Need For Cardiac Health Awareness
Cardiac health is a broad term that includes many different areas of human health. Unfortunately, Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of death globally, claiming around 17.9 million lives each year. The most common cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease, stroke, arrhythmias, ischaemic heart disease, and more. CVDs are especially prevalent in people who have abnormal lipid levels, diabetes or obesity.

World Heart Day 2022: Use Heart For Every Heart
This #WorldHeartDay, the World Heart Federation is promoting the theme ‘Use Heart For Every Heart’. The idea behind this is to create awareness and educate the public about heart disease and the importance of prevention.
Here’s discussing the 3 main pillars of the campaign.
Use Heart For Humanity
As stated above, low-to-middle income countries are prone to CVDs due to poor access to healthcare. Curofone suggests- together we can help people learn more about Teleconsultations and patient monitoring systems to give them easy, remote access to cardiac care. This will be helpful for people living in rural areas.
Use Heart For Nature
Did you know- Air pollution claims around 25% of all cardiovascular deaths? It’s time to give our best to make our planet sustainable and reduce air pollution at an individual level. Using public transport is the first step towards it.
