As the world geared up to commemorate World Heart Day on September 29, King's College Hospital Dubai proudly joined the global community in raising awareness about cardiovascular health. Organised by the World Heart Federation for over two decades, World Heart Day served as a powerful reminder that cardiovascular disease (CVD) remained the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming over 20 million lives annually. This annual observance was alarming and provided a vital platform for educating people about the importance of preventing and managing CVD.

The World Health Organisation and the World Heart Federation (WHF) have been at the forefront of informing and educating individuals around the globe about the stark realities of CVD, with the WHF spearheading the World Heart Day movement. Their efforts have played a pivotal role in raising awareness of this global health crisis. It is crucial to recognise that while the statistics are alarming, CVD is largely preventable. World Heart Day encourages people to take proactive steps to safeguard their heart health.

“It’s never too late to invest in your heart. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death around the world. For most patients, heart disease is acquired, that is, it develops during their lifetime due to mostly modifiable factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, stress, poor control of diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. On this World Heart Day, be smart and protect your heart, “ adds Dr Heyman Luckraz, consultant cardiothoracic surgeon
