On September 29 each year, people all over the world celebrate World Heart Day. This day is observed with the intention of raising public awareness of heart disease prevention. Heart disease and stroke, one of the leading causes of death worldwide, account for the deaths of approximately 18.6 million people annually. People from all over the world come together to plan their fight against cardiovascular diseases on World Heart Day. Because the heart is the first and last sign of life, proper care of it is essential for a healthy lifestyle. World Heart Day was conceptualized by Antoni Bayes de Luna, who served as President of the World Heart Federation from 1997 to 1999.The World Heart Day celebration was started by the World Heart Federation and the World Health Organization (WHO) together. The first World Heart Day was observed on September 24, 2000.The day was celebrated on the last Sunday in September until 2011.In May of 2012, world leaders decided to cut the global death rate from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by 25% by 2025.On September 29, the day is being celebrated later. The purpose of World Heart Day is to raise awareness of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) account for nearly half of all non-communicable disease deaths worldwide and are the most common cause. People are taught how to avoid getting these diseases. The only organ that can be heard and felt is the heart. Every individual must reduce their use of tobacco, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly to lower their risk of heart disease. If these steps are taken, 80 percent of premature deaths caused by heart disease and stroke can be avoided. It is incorrect to assume that people who rely on technology and live a desk-bound lifestyle are at risk for cardiovascular diseases because most deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. “Use Heart for Every Heart” is the theme for World Heart Day 2022.A global campaign is held on World Heart Day, in which individuals, families, communities, and governments from all over the world participate. Around the world, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of disability and early death. Atherosclerosis is the underlying disease, which typically develops over a long period of time and is typically well advanced by the time symptoms first appear, typically in middle age. The sudden onset of acute coronary events (also known as heart attacks) and cerebrovascular events (also known as strokes) frequently results in death before medical attention can be rendered. People with established cardiovascular disease and those who are at high cardiovascular risk due to one or more risk factors can benefit from risk factor modification to reduce clinical events and premature death.
In two groups of people, these pocket guidelines offer evidence-based advice on how to lower the incidence of first and recurrent clinical events caused by coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular disease (CeVD), and peripheral vascular disease. They consist of:
1.People who have risk factors but have not yet developed cardiovascular disease with clinical manifestations (primary prevention).
2.People who have CHD, CeVD, or peripheral vascular disease (secondary prevention) that is already established.
Edu World on this World Heart Day spread awareness about how People learn to care for their own hearts and the hearts of others through activities.
