A Global Coalition Webinar Series. The link between circulatory diseases and COVID-19 has become increasingly evident with the growing number of patients who have been diagnosed and treated worldwide.
The Global Coalition for Circulatory Health (GCCH) brings together 32 international, regional and national stakeholders in circulatory health to drive the urgent action needed to combat heart disease and stroke. Each member has been working actively within its own speciality and constituency to provide relevant and timely information related to the crisis.
By working together, the GCCH has a huge opportunity to provide a comprehensive and global perspective on the circulatory risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and tobacco use, and outcomes, including renal failure, vascular problems, and cardiovascular disease, associated with COVID-19.
