The EAS is delighted to join the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health (EACH) as a partner organisation.
“EACH is a first of a kind initiative that brings together 16 leading Cardiovascular health organisations with the aim to encourage the European policymakers to commit to Cardiovascular care and develop a policy plan for Europe.
Despite improvements during the last decades cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death in Europe, and impact 60 million people every year. This means much more needs to be done in particular to ensure those that may benefit most and those at highest risk of cardiovascular disease receive the best treatments early enough to ensure disease free quality of life.
The EAS has is delighted to have joined the Alliance to raise awareness and ensure that the EU strategy matches the scale of the massive burden.”
Prof Kausik K. Ray, EAS President

Upcoming events
World Heart Day September 29, 2022
Calling for a comprehensive EU policy response to improve the cardiovascular health of European citizens
On World Heart Day, the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health reminds the EU that cardiovascular health can only be realised if coordinated policies are developed within and between countries in the EU. Cardiovascular health is the heart of the matter if we are to live longer and healthier lives.
World Heart Day acts as a milestone to remind the EU of the huge inequalities in cardiovascular health and the need for strong political will to tackle them.
