SUMMARY:Promoting early detection for better cardiovascular outcomes
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, 7 May\, ECR MEP and member of the European Parliament’s Public Health Committee\, Aurelijus Veryga\, will host an event focused on improving early detection of cardiovascular conditions and advancing comprehensive health check programmes across Europe. \nCardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe\, despite significant advances in treatment. Persistent challenges—including late diagnosis\, inconsistent screening approaches\, variations in care pathways\, and gaps in prevention—continue to limit progress. \nOn 16 December 2025\, the European Commission published the EU Safe Hearts Plan\, which includes a flagship initiative for a Council Recommendation on cardiovascular health checks. This Recommendation aims to provide a framework for Member States to implement structured health checks targeting the early detection of cardiovascular diseases\, diabetes\, and obesity. It seeks to place screening and diagnosis at the centre of health systems while reducing inequalities through a more standardised\, data-driven\, and integrated approach. \nIn this context\, MEP Veryga will bring together key stakeholders to discuss the current landscape of national health check programmes across the EU. The event—supported by the EFPIA Cardiovascular Health Platform and organised in collaboration with the European Alliance for Cardiovascular Health (EACH)—will foster dialogue between policymakers and scientific communities\, and help catalyse coordinated action ahead of the publication of the Council Recommendation and its subsequent discussion in the European Council.
