What do we do?Heart and cardiovascular diseases have reached epidemical level in Lithuania. It is not only a medical but also a social problem. These diseases are the leading causes of incapacity for work and deaths. The deaths caused by heart and cardiovascular diseases come to 54,4 %, while this number in old European countries number reaches only 40%. The average of deaths of heart and cardiovascular diseases comes to 49,7 % in new European union countries. We need united societies, doctors, and the efforts of politicians in order to decrease the number of deaths of heart and cardiovascular diseases. The Lithuanian Heart Association has a major goal to reduce illness and mortality from cardiovascular diseases by informing and educating society about the main risk factors and healthy way of living.Lithuanian Heart Assoociation President Pranas Šerpytis
