Cardiovascular disease remains the world’s number one cause of death. Over the past 18 months, COVID-19 has strained our health services, complicating care for those at risk of, or living with cardiovascular disease. This crisis in healthcare has highlighted the need to find alternative ways to connect people to heart health, particularly in lower-resource areas and communities. Harnessing the power of community to improve awareness, prevention and management of cardiovascular disease is our goal for WHD 2021.
