On the the occasion of the World Heart Day, the organisers of the observance, the World Heart Federation stated, :The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the healthcare profession, national healthcare systems and our individual responsibilities – for our own health and for the vulnerable in society. We don’t know what course the pandemic will take in the future but we do know that taking care of our hearts right now is more important than ever.”
It has been urged that we needed to understand what it would take to live a heart healthy life and to act on that knowledge; change behaviour for a better quality of life now and in the future, “In the time of COVID-19, CVD patients are faced with a double-edged threat. Not only are they more at risk of developing severe forms of the virus, but they may also be afraid to seek ongoing care for their hearts.”
People have been asked to evoke compassion and ‘look beyond the self and act in ways that support the most vulnerable in society; those with underlying heart-related conditions that may put them at greater risk in the time of COVID-19.’
