"I used ♥ to: Promote awareness of the control of cardiovascular diseases in Mexico "

Our Mexican Cardiac Rehabilitation Society, through coordinated work with various health institutions throughout the country, urged health professionals and patients involved in cardiac rehabilitation programs to join the spirit of World Heart Day.

In Mexico City, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología “Ignacio Chávez” and National Medical Center “20 de Noviembre” organized commemorative festivals with artistic, culinary, literary, musical and cultural activities with different approaches but alluding to the central idea "use your heart for your heart", in hybrid modality, on september 29th. Likewise, on Sunday 31st, the Walk for Cardiovascular Health was held, which was attended by patients, family members and health professionals to resonate the message in the spirit of community awareness.

These activities were joined by other entities of the Mexican Republic, such as Morelos, Puebla, Oaxaca, Yucatan, Guadalajara, Coahuila, Queretaro and Chihuahua, through colloquiums, talks, detection campaigns and control of cardiometabolic diseases and participation in social media.

Without a doubt, a successful year of activity and participation for Mexico.
