During World Heart Month, we are highlighting key facts throughout the month, to help you understand and manage your symptoms. Did you know ....

️1️⃣ Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 32% of all deaths worldwide.

2️⃣ Over 80% of heart disease deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where limited access to healthcare and education means many deaths could be prevented.

3️⃣ Sudden cardiac death (SCD) claims 4-5 million lives annually, representing 15-20% of all deaths.
