Did you know that one in five people will die prematurely from heart disease?

Today is World Heart Day, a global initiative to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the importance of looking after your heart.

For the past 25 years, the World Heart Federation has marked 29 September as a day to unite individuals, communities and governments in making heart health a global priority. Together, they've worked to promote the prevention and management of CVD, and to call for stronger action from policymakers around the world.
