“We have witnessed an unprecedented rise in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) worldwide, including in the UAE. Latest reports indicate that nearly 40 percent of deaths in the UAE due to non-communicable diseases are attributed to heart attacks. The average age for heart attacks has dropped to 50 years or less, with obesity and sedentary lifestyles exacerbating the situation. I have spearheaded an annual Shake Heart Conference. ‘Shake’ is an acronym for Saving Heart Attacks – Key Efforts, and I sincerely hope that a consistent campaign like this will raise substantial community awareness about heart health. “
