Heart Weeks 2024

To mark Heart Weeks in November 2024, our team from the FRIEDE SPRINGER - Cardiovascular Prevention Center supported colleagues from Charité's German Heart Center (DHZC) at their information event held at the German Parliamentary Society. The aim was to raise awareness among members of the Bundestag about heart health, early detection, and prevention.

Under the direction of Prof. Volkmar Falk, Medical Director of the DHZC, and with patronage from MP Nezahat Baradari, a multidisciplinary team from medicine, science, and nursing facilitated an intensive exchange and personal heart checks for MPs. Numerous participants availed themselves of the offer to undergo health assessments such as ultrasound, blood tests, ECGs, blood pressure measurement, and fitness tests. Information booths also provided insights into topics such as heart failure, diabetes, resuscitation, and prevention strategies.

We extend our gratitude to the DHZC and all contributors for their dedication, and we are proud to promote cardiovascular disease prevention through events like this.
