Putting hearts at the heart of healthcare strategy

by Stephen O'Farrell . March 2025

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death globally, claiming 20.5 million lives in 2021. In the UK, it accounts for a quarter of all deaths and severely strains healthcare systems.

Progress in tackling CVD is being made thanks to better screening, public health initiatives, new treatment innovations and digital health solutions. However, lifestyle-driven prevalence and disparities in care persist and the global burden of CVD is projected to rise by 90% by 2050, underscoring the need for deeper investment to drive transformative innovation.
