Hypertension is a leading risk factor for #HF. BP control and earlier detection are key to reducing risks.
This #WorldHypertensionDay, we’re calling for strategies that reflect the interconnection of these conditions to improve long-term care and outcomes.

People with hypertension, diabetes or kidney disease face a far higher risk of #heartfailure.
Integrated care helps manage these conditions more effectively and catch heart failure earlier to improve prevention and outcomes.

1 in 4 people won’t return to work in the year following hospitalisation for #HeartFailure. This takes a huge toll on health systems and economies.
European countries must urgently implement cardiovascular health plans that include heart failure.

What can @EU_Health do to address this gap?
