The Romanian Heart Foundation launches the national campaign "Challenge 50/2030: Cholesterol Under Control!" aiming for at least 50% of patients with high cholesterol to reach therapeutic targets by 2030. This initiative coincides with World Heart Day and is part of the National Strategy for Combating Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases 2025-2030. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Romania, with a significantly higher mortality rate than the EU average. The campaign focuses on controlling LDL cholesterol and addressing overall cardiovascular risk factors. It emphasizes the need for systematic risk assessment and proactive identification of at-risk individuals. The strategy includes measures for early risk identification and improving access to innovative treatments, aiming to reduce treatment access times by 25% by 2030. The campaign also seeks to raise public awareness about cholesterol levels and encourage timely medical evaluations.
