Our heart is a real all-round talent and we should take care of its health. The fist-sized organ pumps large amounts of blood through the vessels every day, ensuring that all body cells are supplied with nutrients and oxygen. Of course, with so much lifetime peak performance, weak points can arise.
Cardiovascular diseases are still the most common cause of death in western industrialized countries and therefore also in Austria, accounting for around 45 percent of all deaths. A large proportion of these diseases could be prevented through health promotion and prevention measures.
