Heart disease is the world’s number one killer. More deadly than cancer, it claims around 20 million lives a year and is the reason that 1 in 5 of us will die early.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

That’s why we’re calling on Governments to act now and commit to helping some 500 million more people get the treatment they need by 2030 and make a dedicated action plan for cardiovascular health.
