On September 29 – World Heart Day 2017, the Maltese Cardiac Society and Health Promotion & Disease Prevention Directorate, in collaboration with Novartis, organised activities to increase awareness on heart disease among patients and the public.
Hosted by the World Heart Federation, this year’s event was themed ‘Share the power’.
The goals for World Heart Day – and generally in heart failure – are to help motivate and equip people and their caregivers to understand their heart failure, recognise symptoms and have productive conversations with their doctors to optimise their condition management and outcomes.
