Serving those with heart conditions is meant by the phrase “For Every Heart.” To ensure that the World Heart Day campaign reaches the widest possible audience, participation and promotion are required.
World Heart Day: Significance
The International Society of Cardiology and the International Cardiology Federation amalgamated in 1998, giving rise to the WHF. Antonio Bayés de Luna, a professor of cardiology, presided at WHF from 1997 to 1999. Since cardiac disorders had become a global burden, particularly in underdeveloped countries, he was the one who initially proposed the notion of World Heart Day.
