Strategic Plan for Cardiovascular Health in Portugal - Portuguese Society of Cardiology (PESCP-SPC)

The Strategic Plan for Cardiovascular Health in Portugal is an initiative of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, aligned with efforts by the European Society of Cardiology and the World Heart Federation to develop national plans, at a local level within the cultural and socio-economic contexts, focused on cardiovascular health. The overarching goal is to promote and ensure the continuous and sustained improvement of cardiovascular health in the Portuguese population. The methodology identified key challenges and opportunities for the medium term, highlighted priority areas for intervention, and proposed strategic lines of action. This article outlines the project's design and establishes a guiding framework for the proposed actions, which will be drawn up by designated expert groups and communicated subsequently.
