The World Heart Federation, a Geneva-based NGO, is committed to controlling the occurrence of heart disease and stroke in the world, especially in low-and middle-income countries, prolonging human life and improving the quality of life. The World Heart Association consists of 168 heart associations and heart foundations from 97 countries.
The member countries cover Asia-Pacific, Europe, Central America and Africa. World Heart Day is one of the important activities initiated by the World Heart Federation from 65438 to 0999. It is scheduled to be held on the last Sunday of September every year to arouse people's awareness of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors, such as lack of exercise, nutritional imbalance and smoking.
At the same time, as a means to prevent cardiovascular diseases, we will carry out publicity and education activities to control risk factors, with the aim of promoting the global prevention of cardiovascular diseases and creating good opportunities for all member States to enjoy and disseminate the latest information on cardiovascular disease prevention.
location
The heart is located in the chest, between the lungs above the diaphragm, and about two-thirds is on the left side of the midline. The heart is like an inverted, slightly flat cone, like a peach.
The blunt top circle faces to the lower left and is adjacent to the anterior chest wall, and its body surface is projected at 0.5- 1.0cm inside the clavicle midline of the fifth intercostal space of the anterior chest wall, so the top pulse can be seen or touched here. My heart base is very wide, and there are big blood vessels coming in and out of it, facing the upper right back, adjacent to the esophagus and other organs of the posterior mediastinum.
