About Us
The Foundation for Circulatory Health is a charitable organisation with the primary aim of supporting research and social public activities which can improve global cardiovascular health.
Empowering Research and Service Initiatives to Combat Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular disease including coronary heart diease and stroke is the leading cause of death worldwide. The global burden of cardiovascular disease is expected to continue to increase as the world develops. This expected increase is not inevitable, given that the associated risk factors are largely identified.
The Foundation has already raised over £ 2.5 million to support life changing research in a wide range of important areas.
Collaborating for a Healthier Future
The goals of the Foundation are
“To bring about improvements in health in all parts of the world, particularly as regards diseases of the human circulatory system, and to advance public education by improving the knowledge of members of the medical and allied professions concerning such diseases and their prevention and treatment.”
