“The journey to healing could not begin until I had an accurate diagnosis.” Rhonda’s story is only one of the millions of examples that highlight the importance of having access to timely and accurate diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (#CVD). Changing the burden related to this non-communicable disease requires increased investments in establishing national CVD strategies focused on prevention and early detection. This should include expanding access to cardiac biomarkers and increasing workforce training to enable the effective use of existing and new technologies that improve outcomes for patients and health systems. It's fantastic to see the Council of the European Union encouraging European countries to prioritise prevention, early detection, treatment and rehabilitation in the recently approved draft for an EU CVD Action Plan! I really hope to see similar initiatives in other regions as well. This way we can ensure that stories like Rhonda's are prevented from happening! #HeartHealth #CVD #ActOnNCDs
