The Global Heart Hub is the first global non-profit organisation established to provide a voice for those affected by cardiovascular disease. We are an alliance of heart patient organisations, aiming to create a unified global voice for those living with or affected by heart disease.
Our aim is to unite patient groups from every country in the world under the umbrella of the Global Heart Hub. Our combined mission is to raise awareness of heart disease and the challenges it presents in everyday life. The Global Heart Hub is a platform for heart patient organisations to share their views, learn from each other’s best practice, unite on common advocacy goals, and share resources. We aim to increase awareness and understanding of the many heart conditions that exist, improve patient outcomes, enhance quality of life, and optimise longevity and healthy aging.
WomenHeart’s mission is to improve the lives of women with or at risk for heart disease, while fighting for equity in heart health.
WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease was founded in 1999 by three women, Nancy Loving, Jackie Markham, and Judy Mingram who had heart attacks while in their 40s and faced many obstacles, including misdiagnosis, inadequate treatment, and social isolation. These women, who lived respectively in Washington, DC, New York City, and Santa Ana, CA did not know each other at the time of their heart attacks. But they each shared a common experience about how little information or services were available for women with heart disease. To them, the issue seemed invisible within the women’s health care community.
Learn With Nurses (LWN) is a Community Interest Company (CIC) offering free, dynamic and innovative virtual training for the entire integrated clinical team,enabling them to make a real difference to patients.

The Lancet Women and Cardiovascular Disease Commission: Reducing the Global Burden by 2030 is a collaboration between the Lancet medical journal and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Despite being responsible for causing 35% of deaths in women each year, cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women remains understudied, under-recognised, under-diagnosed, and under-treated, with women under-represented in clinical trials. To tackle these inequities, 17 experts from 11 countries have authored the first-ever global report on CVD in women.
We are Heart Research UK. And we’re taking on heart disease. We inspire and invest in life-saving medical research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease, as well as supporting ground-breaking training and education. To date, we’ve invested over £25m into research all across the UK.
We know research works, and we focus on benefiting patients as soon as possible. Many peoples’ loved ones are around for longer now because we have driven advancements in prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease.
Launched in June 2019, the BHF Clinical Research Collaborative (BHF CRC) aims to support the planning and delivery of clinical research in heart and circulatory diseases in the UK. We provide services and infrastructure to facilitate, enhance and coordinate the research planning of existing cardiovascular and surgical societies.
The collaborative is funded through a generous program grant from the UK’s leading heart disease charity, the British Heart Foundation (BHF), and hosted by the British Cardiovascular Society, who provide office space, financial oversight and human resources support.
Stichting VrouwenHart is a Dutch foundation dedicated to raising awareness of sex and gender differences in cardiovascular disease, with a particular focus on how heart disease presents and develops in women.
The foundation aims to connect everyone involved in women’s heart health, including healthcare professionals, researchers, women with lived experience, their families, and the wider public. Through awareness, education, collaboration and advocacy, Stichting VrouwenHart works to improve recognition, understanding and care for women’s heart health in the Netherlands.
Why Does Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction Matter? Up to 50% of patients with chest pain who are referred for cardiac catheterization / coronary angiography do not have obstructive disease of the major coronary arteries. This syndrome is termed ANOCA. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is one of the possible causes (or "endotypes") of ANOCA. Our Goals:
A Pathway to Information for Patients and Professionals
We are a brand new open platform focused on collaboration and partnership, not competition. We want to be a space where the voices involved in rare and common vascular conditions carry equal weight.
We will strive to be a connecting point between people, researchers, partner organisations, and systems throughout the vascular landscape. Together we will become a learning community that brings lived experience into dialogue with developing science.
Her Heart is Australia’s only not-for-profit (NFP) focused on the prevention of women’s heart disease.
As the only not-for-profit organisation dedicated to improving women’s heart health, we want to reduce the impact of cardiovascular disease on women by driving evidence-based awareness, education, research, and advocacy, and by influencing policy, practice, and priorities so women’s needs are visible, valued, and addressed across the cardiovascular health landscape.
Her Heart advocates for women’s heart health as a top priority across multiple sectors. Through collaboration with government, philanthropy, healthcare, and industry partners, we work to improve outcomes for women. In addition to driving change, we also support health professionals.
For over 60 years, the Heart Foundation has been the trusted peak body working to improve the prevention, detection, and support of heart disease for all Australians.
While our work has significantly improved survival rates for people experiencing heart attacks and living with heart disease, we won’t be satisfied until heart disease is no longer a threat to any Australian. It remains one of our nation’s biggest killers, claiming 51 lives every day.
Guided by our vision that heart health will be achievable by everyone in Australia by 2050, we continue to harness the knowledge and innovation of leading researchers and health professionals, alongside the passion of our supporters and the generosity of millions of Australians, by:
