One in five people will die early from cardiovascular disease (CVD), which claims more lives than cancer and chronic respiratory diseases combined. Yet, up to 80% of heart disease and stroke cases are preventable.
That’s why, every 29 September, we celebrate World Heart Day to raise awareness of CVD and the importance of taking care of your heart. From individuals, families and schools to community groups and governments, we work together to make equitable heart health a priority and drive change across the globe.
2025 marks the 25th anniversary of World Heart Day, and our mission remains as crucial as ever.
The theme for World Heart Day 2025 is Don’t Miss a Beat. Loved ones around the world are missing out on time they should still have to spend together due to early deaths from CVD. Which is why, this 29 September, we will tell the world: Don’t Miss a Beat.
Thank you to our global partners for their continued support and collaboration.
Our global and local partners help us to amplify our mission and increase its impact.
Our partnersMillions of lives can be saved if governments expand care and screening for CVD. That’s why we’re calling on governments to act now, with a plan to help 500 million more people get the treatment they need by 2030.
