Abstract | The 29th of September marks the 20th World Heart Day, established in the year 2000 as an initiative of the World Heart Federation (WHF) to raise awareness for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It provides a global platform that encourages citizens to act against the precursors of CVDs and take action on specific conditions such as ischemic heart disease but also neglected conditions such as rheumatic heart disease, Chagas disease, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and congenital heart disease. In addition, certain CVDs can lead to the development of pulmonary hypertension, which is a common complication of left heart disease that has also become a major health concern besides CVDs |
