World Heart Day, Sept. 29, emphasizes early detection and prevention

scienceSep 29, 202628194

On World Heart Day 2026 in Visakhapatnam, Apollo Hospitals launched an advanced cardiac command centre that integrates a smart ambulance network, tele-ECG services, connected-care devices, telemedicine and an airport medical centre to transmit ECGs and vitals to specialists en route. Apollo also introduced an AI-based cardiac risk score to estimate a person’s 10-year cardiovascular risk and categorise individuals as low, moderate or high risk. Doctors at KIMS Hospitals, Seethammadhara and Apollo warned that coronary artery disease and heart attacks are increasingly occurring in patients in their late 30s and 40s. Interventional cardiologist Dr. Ganesh Kasinadhuni and cardiologist Dr. N.K. Panigrahi stressed prevention from a young age and flagged abdominal obesity, diabetes, sedentary lifestyles, workplace stress, high refined-carbohydrate diets, smoking, alcohol and genetics as key risk factors. Clinicians urged people not to dismiss exertional chest pressure, unusual breathlessness or pain radiating to the jaw, arm or back and warned that delays in seeking care reduce opportunities for timely intervention. World Heart Day’s 2026 campaign message, "Don’t Miss a Beat," emphasises recognising warning signs, regular monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar and lipid levels, and using connected emergency care to shorten time to treatment.

The Scarlet Gentleman Dragon 🐉❤️ A gallant dragon dons his finest scarlet suit for World Heart Day. In the Netherlands today's Dress Red Day reminds us that women's hearts are too often overlooked. Wear red for them. #synthart #dragontuesday

A wide cinematic illustration of a whimsical green-scaled European dragon standing upright like a Victorian gentleman on the left side of the frame. He wears a rich red late-1890s tailcoat with satin lapels, an embroidered waistcoat with a brass watch chain, a white high-collared shirt with a silk cravat, a tall silk top hat between his horns, and a brass monocle over one amber eye. One clawed hand rests on a slim ebony cane, and his raised brow gives him a knowing look. Behind him, a gaslit cobblestone street fades into pale sage green fog at golden hour, with glowing amber lanterns and softly blurred period buildings. Warm light traces his scales and hat brim. A small handwritten "Tis." signature sits in the bottom-left corner.

Today is World Heart Day - and as someone who has had more than their fair share of intrusive medical procedures on the put upon fleshpumper - here are ten gentle artworks that don't make me scream into the void. First up: "Two Hearts" - Julia Abele (2021)

In Africa, 1 in 4 heart disease deaths is linked to air pollution. On #WorldHeartDay, we're looking at what this means for a continent already facing gaps in air quality monitoring and health data. Read the research: www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/...

World Heart Day is an annual global event observed on September 29 to raise awareness about cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs), their prevention, and the importance of maintaining a healthy heart. Initiated by the World Heart Federation in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). the day aims to educate people about risk factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption, all of which can lead to heart disease and stroke-the world's leading causes of death.
Each year, World Heart Day has a specific theme that highlights different aspects of heart health. Activities on this day include health checks, awareness campaigns, seminars, and community events organized by healthcare organizations, governments, and nongovernmental organizations worldwide.

Today is World Heart Day, so I was glad to meet the British Heart Foundation team at their Red Bench outside Parliament. The stories behind these benches - with 5 benches across Scotland - are a powerful reminder of the people living with and surviving heart disease. 1/2

World Heart day? As a certified goddamn medical miracle, I’m in!

Miss Ann Miller bursts through an enormous Valentine heart, wearing pretty much only a tiny pair of satin tap pants and a big satin heart on top. Because of course she does.

I swear that for the better part of a decade that woman must’ve lived in the stills gallery.

A standing heart in white, edged with darker flowers. the words "State Officials" are on the legs of the heart, which has a dark ribbon bow at its tip.

The link between #lungcancer and heart health runs both ways. The conditions share risks, and some lung cancer treatments can affect the heart. More on the evidence and what it means for care this #WorldHeartDay: lungcancereurope.eu/news/lung-ca... #LCSM
