Various health organizations in Italy have launched initiatives to promote cardiovascular disease awareness and prevention. Early efforts included campaigns by Cuore Nostro to highlight valvular heart diseases and calls for structured screening programs aligned with the European Union’s ‘Safe Hearts Plan’. Additionally, Fondazione Onda ETS initiated an ‘(H) Open Week’ focused on cardiomyopathies, with medical facilities in regions such as Busto Arsizio, Saronno, Gallarate, and Ariccia providing free consultations and screenings. In observance of World Heart Day, these activities expanded to include more specific institutional programs. In Siena, Siena Cuore ODV scheduled free ECG screenings, blood tests, and medical consultations for late September, alongside an awareness walk and demonstrations of life-saving maneuvers. A medical-scientific conference on cardiopulmonary resuscitation is also planned for December. Recent programming for late September 2026 includes a scheduled event by Siena Cuore ODV on September 26-27, featuring free medical screenings and ‘La Camminata del Cuore’, a non-competitive 7km walk through the city.
