In France, the Journée du Cœur (Heart Day) will take place on 14 February.
Cardiovascular disease caused 33% of all deaths in 2011, and is still the main cause of death in the 33 OECD countries. One person in three is affected.
With 180,000 deaths a year, cardiovascular diseases are the leading long-term illness, affecting 2.8 million people.Cardiovascular diseases are the second cause of mortality in France.
By 2030, almost 23.3 million people worldwide will die of a cardiovascular disease (mainly heart conditions or strokes).
Strasburg, Paris and Bordeaux are preparing to host the national Journée du Cœur (Heart Day) and the whole Heart Community will be involved. The aim of Heart Day is to show the large number of local projects, and all the healthcare professionals, patient support groups, politicians, etc. engaged in combating cardiovascular disease. The social media will be able to access the panel sessions in each city. The aim is to gather together information, feedback and proposals that will help in creating a White Paper. This will be important for drawing up a national Heart Plan.
