National Heart Failure Awareness Week

Please save the date for the 7th annual Heart Failure Awareness Week May 4-10, 2025. Please join us in raising Awareness.

Heart failure (HF) is now one of the fastest growing cardiovascular conditions in the world. In Canada, it’s estimated that more than 100,000 Canadians will be diagnosed this year alone, adding to the 800,000 people already living with HF. 

The goal of Heart Failure Awareness Week is to raise awareness, increase public knowledge and provide a better understanding about this chronic condition.
