Image
  World Heart Day is observed and celebrated yearly on September 29 to raise awareness of cardiovascular diseases and how to control them to reduce their global impact. The World Heart Federation, in partnership with the World Health Organization, established the international holiday. This notion was the brainchild of Antoni BayĆ©s de Luna, who served as the World Heart Federation's president from 1997 to 1999.
