Significance The day aims to highlight the actions that individuals can take to prevent and control cardiovascular diseases. It aims to educate people and drive action towards controlling the risk factors. If certain actions are kept in control, majority of premature deaths from heart related disease could be avoided. Since the first World Heart Day, World Heart Federation has continued to sponsor this annual event assembling and distributing information and declaring a theme for the day each year. The information is communicated through public talks, podcasts, posters, and leaflets. In conjunction to the World Heart Day, there are free health checks, runs, walks, concerts, fund raising and various other events that are held. Sc
