Today is World Heart Day and cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death, but many of its risk factors are in your control.

One major risk - Physical inactivity.

Take control now for your own heart, for your patients, and for the next generation.
Encourage active lifestyles early. No matter what age you are, movement matters.
