A new initiative to tackle heart disease and the issues that cause cardiovascular problems is being launched in Galway today.
Heart disease is still the main cause of death each year in Ireland. However, experts say 90% of cardiovascular illness could be averted with early intervention and increased awareness.
The NIPC will promote research and help develop new treatment practices, offering support and resources to hospitals and medics and will work to influence policy at a national level. The National Institute for Preventive Cardiology is a collaboration between the Croí charity and NUI Galway.
To mark the launch of the Institute, a National Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention will be held at the Croi Heart and Stroke Centre in Galway on Saturday, 29th November. National and international world leaders in CVD Prevention will speak at this inaugural event which will examine global challenges and future developments in preventive healthcare.
