Shawn McFarland - CPR Instructor - American Heart Association

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.

This is the 25th Anniversary of World Heart Day.

I was diagnosed with CVD several years ago, and I became an American Heart Association CPR Instructor.

This year's theme is "Don't Miss A Beat". Please take some time today to spend with those you love. You can help raise awareness of CVD and its impact by taking part in World Heart Day activations and sharing your stories.

Millions 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.
