The 2026 campaign, βDonβt Miss a Beat,β reminds us that heart disease may hide in plain sight and that warning symptoms can sometimes be missed or dismissed.
Protect your heart by:

Eating more vegetables, fruits and fibre

Reducing salt, sugar and unhealthy fats
β
Avoiding smoking and to***co exposure

Attending regular follow-up appointments
Seek emergency care for chest pressure or painβparticularly when associated with breathlessness, sweating, nausea, faintness, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, shoulder or back.
See the signs. Protect your heart. Donβt miss a beat. World Heart Federationβ οΏΌ
