World Heart Day is observed every year on September 29 to raise awareness about cardiovascular diseases (CVD), accelerating actions to prevent, detect early, and manage heart health.
The research, published in the AHA’s journal Hypertension, made a comparison of two tools for calculating cardiovascular disease risks.
There is also a rising prevalence of the disease across younger age groups, with over 50% of CVD mortality occurring in individuals aged less than 50 years.
