Everyone has been touched by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), be it directly or through knowing someone who has had a heart attack, stroke, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or any other disorders of the heart and blood vessels. From the Heart is a collection of life experiences told by those living with and those tackling the global reality of CVD. In this series of intimate conversations between Marie-France Tschudin and leading voices advocating CVD awareness and change, we get an honest look into global healthcare systems, personal anecdotes, patient journeys and an insight into the non-clinical barriers that prevent people from receiving care and treatment they need. In the ‘From the Heart’ video series, Marie-France speaks with ShantaQuilette Carter-Williams, a mother and campaigner living with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and experts Prof. Rifat Atun, Neil Johnson, and Prof. Kausik Ray to investigate how we can tackle the world's leading cause of death and disability together and put cardiovascular disease at the top of the healthcare agenda. Through her conversations, Marie-France uncovers the incredible opportunity we have to act now by reframing the conversation around cardiovascular disease and highlighting the urgent need to invest in cardiovascular health and healthcare systems, to prevent CVDs and improve outcomes for those impacted.
