A global, patient-led manifesto, developed collaboratively by 125 international patient advocates, including 40 cardiovascular patient organisations and multidisciplinary expert opinion leaders.Â
Early detection and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease can dramatically reduce the burden of illness, improve quality of life for patients and their families, reduce the overall societal burden of chronic disease and substantially enhance population health.
For too long, patients and their families have faced the substantial impact of missed and late detection and diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, which delays treatment initiation and often results in worsened health outcomes.
The manifesto outlines eight actions:
Action 1:
Run public campaigns on the prevalence, causes and symptoms of CVD.
Action 2:
Implement targeted early detection programmes for CVD, at different
stages of life.
stages of life.
Action 3:
Adapt clinical processes to enhance the early detection and diagnosis of CVD.
Action 4:
Leverage digital technologies to increase access to the early detection and diagnosis of CVD.
Action 5:
Optimise workforce training and capacity for the early detection and diagnosis of CVD.
Action 6:
Increase investment in research into the early detection and diagnosis of CVD.
Action 7:
Advance policy development and international partnerships for the early detection and diagnosis of CVD.
Action 8:
Promote equitable access to the early detection and diagnosis of CVD.
