World Heart Day 2023

In collaboration with our team at the Friede Springer – Cardiovascular Prevention Center (FS-CPC) and the German Heart Foundation, the German Heart Center of Charité invited members of the Bundestag and their staff to an informative event aimed at raising awareness about heart health.

Held at the German Parliamentary Society near the Bundestag, nearly 100 MPs took the opportunity to engage with experts from medicine and science, including Prof. Ulf Landmesser and Prof. Elisabeth Steinhagen-Thiessen, both from the FS-CPC.

Another key event for World Heart Day was the scientific symposium on the prevention and early detection of cardiovascular diseases. The focus was on accessible, high-quality cardiovascular medicine. The event sought to emphasize the importance of these issues in politics, public life, and healthcare to foster positive changes in heart medicine funding and the implementation of a national cardiovascular strategy.
