Use ❤️ to Act Now on Angina
More than 100 million people globally are affected by angina, which manifests in a variety of ways. For this reason, symptoms may be hard to recognize and patients often remain undiagnosed and untreated.
This global campaign aims to increase awareness of angina and its symptoms in order to facilitate early detection and implement optimal angina management.
USE ❤️ TO BREATHE
Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is one form of pulmonary hypertension, where blood vessels in the lungs are narrowed, blocked or destroyed1. It is a rare, life-threatening disease with a poor prognosis.
Use ❤️ to Season with Sense
Unhealthy diets are a leading global public health risk, contributing to a rise in obesity and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. In the current food environment, dietary patterns have shifted, and people are consuming more foods high in saturated fats, trans fat, sugar or sodium.
This global campaign aims to make more people aware of the negative effects that consuming too much sodium can have on our health.
USE ❤️ TO stop flu
Seasonal influenza, commonly called the flu, is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza viruses which circulate in all parts of the world. Following the onset of infection, people with cardiovascular disease are at higher risk of stroke and heart attacks.
This global campaign aims to increase awareness of the risks caused by the flu for people with cardiovascular disease and its most cost-effective preventive action: influenza vaccination.
Use ❤️ to Take Iron Seriously
Iron is essential for keeping our bodies and brains healthy. It brings oxygen to our blood cells, helps convert food into energy and enables us to maintain a normal immune system.
Too little or too much iron has detrimental effects on the body and can lead to arrhythmia and blood pressure anomalies. Chronic heart failure patients are more prone to iron deficiency.
USE ❤️ FOR ACTION
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the world’s biggest killer – responsible for more than 20.5 million deaths every year. Yet most countries still don’t prioritize heart health. National policies for cardiovascular disease are lacking, insufficient or simply don’t exist.
Our three-year World Heart Day campaign aims to motivate every country to develop or support a national cardiovascular health plan, a necessary tool to prevent the leading cause of death worldwide. However, we can’t do this alone. By signing our petition, you can join us in advocating for stronger measures to protect heart health and save lives.
