Prevention in Your Country

Based on the knowledge of cardiovascular prevention experts of ESC National Cardiac Societies and Affiliated Cardiac Societies.

The overall objective of this section is to facilitate implementation of CVD prevention by providing information on prevention in ESC National Cardiac Societies and Affiliated Cardiac Societies to inspire both national coordinators and others in the field of preventive cardiology. 

This is an EAPC Prevention Implementation Committee (PIC) initiative. "Prevention in Your Country" was initiated and led by the late Prof. Joep Perk (deceased 2022).
