Overview

This initiative, a collaboration between the municipal government, the Secretariats of Health and Education, the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (SBC), Hospital Santa Lúcia, and PUC Minas, aims to promote and prevent cardiovascular diseases among children and adolescents.

The project seeks to establish cardiovascular health profiles for students to identify risk factors early and develop prevention strategies.
