Every year on 29 September, the World Heart Federation brings millions of people together for World Heart Day. It is a global movement that raises awareness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and inspires us all to take action for better heart health.
This year’s theme is Don’t Miss a Beat. It is a powerful reminder that every heartbeat matters and that each of us can do something today to protect our heart health.
Why World Heart Day Matters
Cardiovascular disease is still the world’s number one killer, causing nearly 20.5 million deaths every year. The good news is that so many of these deaths can be prevented through awareness, early detection, and small, consistent lifestyle changes.
World Heart Day is our chance to focus on heart health together, to make better choices, and to support access to care for everyone.
How You Can Get Involved
This year, we are encouraging everyone in our community to join the campaign and take steps that make a difference.
