Don't
miss
a beat

This World Heart Day, our mission is to make every heartbeat count.

We want better heart health and improved access to life-saving care worldwide.

Right now, people around the world are missing out on time with loved ones, the chance to protect their own health, and the opportunities afforded by more sustainable local health systems. Too often, this is due to the early and preventable loss caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD) — the world’s biggest killer.

Ahead of the UN High-Level meeting this September, we’re accelerating efforts to improve access to treatment for high blood pressure and reduce heart health inequities through better funding for CVD care. So no one misses a beat.

Every heartbeat matters

People globally are missing out on the health and happiness benefits of movement.

Just 30 minutes of exercise could help tackle 80% of CVD cases, yet 1 in 3 adults are not moving enough.

Our global petition

Global cities are missing opportunities to boost heart health and reduce the burden of illness.

By increasing treatment for high-blood pressure from 1 in 5 today, to 1 in 2, we could prevent 130 million premature deaths.
