World Heart Day 2025: Don’t Miss a Beat

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally. Yet, many of these lives could be saved through earlier access to innovative and effective care.

On September 29, we mark World Heart Day by joining the global movement to raise awareness and advocate for heart health.
This year’s theme, #DontMissABeat, reminds us that every heartbeat matters, and that timely innovation can make all the difference.

At HEU-EFS, we are committed to improving access to life-saving technologies for patients with unmet medical needs. Our work focuses on creating a harmonised EU framework for Early Feasibility Studies (EFS), a critical step in accelerating the development of innovative medical devices.

Through a public-private partnership of 22 institutions, funded by the European Commission, HEU-EFS is aligning regulatory, clinical, and innovation stakeholders to streamline the EFS process across Europe.

Because when it comes to heart health, every moment, and every heartbeat, counts.
