World Heart Day, created by World Heart Federation in 1999, is celebrated every year on 29th September to inform people around the world about cardiovascular disease (CVD), its prevention and the impact it has upon people across the world. It is a global campaign through which the federation unites people in the fight against the CVD burden as well as inspires and drives international action to encourage heart-healthy living. CVD including heart disease and stroke claims 17.9 million lives every year. Due to this fact, the day highlights the actions that individuals can take to prevent and control CVD.
