CVD is the #1 killer of women. To change that, we need more women in cardiology & research, as well as systemic change

We join @worldheart.org in urging governments to act & commit to national heart health plans

RISE @ ESC Congress 2025 is co-hosted with our global partners, @worldheart.org & @escardio.bsky.social, to make a global impact for women in cardiology and leadership in cardiovascular health.

#LetsRISE2025 #ESCCongress #WCCardio #CardioSky

A quote from Borjana Pervan, Chief Operations Officer at the World Heart Federation: The World Heart Federation is proud to join forces with Women As One and the European Society of Cardiology for RISE @ ESC Congress 2025. To change the future of cardiology, we must change who gets to be part of it. You can’t be what you can’t see — we need more women in cardiology, leading, mentoring, and caring for and treating women. Representation leads to stronger care and better outcomes for everyone. This is central to WHF’s mission: advancing cardiovascular health for everyone, everywhere.

Even after the #WorldAdherenceDay it is good to remember that patients need support to be able to stay committed to their healthcare plans.

World Heart Federation @worldheart.org · Mar 27

📣 Today is #WorldAdherenceDay!

Small steps—like daily medication, healthy routines, and encouragement—can lead to big moments.
