World Heart Day is observed and celebrated annually on September 29, with the aim of increasing awareness of cardiovascular diseases and how to control them to negate their global impact. The international holiday was established by the World Heart Federation in collaboration with the World Health Organization. The president of the World Heart Federation from 1997 to 1999, Antoni Bayés de Luna, had conceived this idea. The first celebration of the annual event took place on September 24, 2000, and, until 2011.

World Heart Day is an opportunity for everyone to stop and consider how best to use the heart for humanity, for nature, and for you. Beating cardiovascular disease (CVD) is something that matters to every beating heart.

High cholesterol is major risk factor for heart attack so keeping cholesterol within range weight loss can reduce heart attack.

More than 90 countries take part in this international observance every year. As a result, World Heart Day has proven to be an effective means for disseminating information about CVD. The high level of involvement from governments and organizations is most important for developing countries, which are heavily affected by these diseases.
