Strasbourg, 8 December 2023<\/em> \u2013 Members of Parliament (MEPs) at 2023\u2019s ending plenary session, 11-14 December, are being urged to prioritise health and help defeat the continent\u2019s most pervasive health threat: cardiovascular disease (CVD)<\/a>. Leading the call is a grouping of 18 partners making up the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health<\/a> (EACH). They emphasise an EU-wide Cardiovascular Health Plan and 27 National Action Plans as the way forward.<\/p>\n

CVD cost the EU an estimated \u20ac282 billion in 2021, topping the leaderboard as the cause of more than one-third of all deaths and impacting the lives of some 60 million people. Misperceptions plague CVD: it is often still regarded as a \u201cman\u2019s disease\u201d although women are more than twice as likely to die after a heart attack than men. Cardiovascular conditions also affect children and young adults.<\/p>\n

In Strasbourg, EACH is unveiling the \u201cVote Cardiovascular Health 2024\u201d exhibition, hosted by MEP El\u017cbieta \u0141ukacijewska (Poland) and MEP Radka Maxov\u00e1 (Czech Republic), long-standing supporters of cardiovascular health. The exhibition highlights CVD\u2019s toll on the EU, country by country, while the online media campaign is calling on leaders to #VoteHealth2024.<\/p>\n

“Th<\/em>is is a decisive moment for our health. The numbers<\/em> highlight the far-reaching<\/em> impact<\/em>s<\/em> of cardiovascular disease. <\/em>We need<\/em> concrete action, and I stand with EACH in calling for an EU Cardiovascular Health Plan t<\/em>o<\/em> safeguard the well-being of our citizens<\/em>,<\/em>“<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>said MEP El\u017cbieta \u0141ukacijewska.<\/p>\n

The current trio Presidency (Spain-Belgium-Hungary) took a historic step by addressing cardiovascular disease for the first time in the EU’s 30-year history. Reducing the burden of CVD in Europe requires ongoing demonstration of leadership and unwavering commitment.<\/p>\n

“Cardiovascular health knows no borders<\/em>.<\/em> We must seize this opportunity in Strasbourg to prioriti<\/em>s<\/em>e the health of fellow Europeans and work collectively towards a healthier, more resilient continent<\/em>,<\/em>“<\/em> said MEP Radka Maxov\u00e1.<\/p>\n
