In an era when Europe’s population is ageing rapidly, more and more people are expected to suffer a form of Structural Heart Disease.
The Structural Heart Disease Coalition (SHD Coalition) is a European network that brings together experts including key opinion leaders, politicians, patients and industry that collaborate to ensure that SHD is prioritised in policy with the aim of decreasing the burden of the disease and improving patients’ quality of life.
Structural Heart Diseases (SHDs) are structural abnormalities of the heart leading to impaired functioning that mostly affect the elderly. While it is estimated that SHDs currently affect 14 million people in Europe, the number of hospitalisations has doubled in the last 20 years.
The Coalition is driven by the European Manifesto for a Healthier Europe: Living Longer, Living Better, which was launched by Italian MEP Brando Benifei in 2019. The Manifesto calls for
- political prioritisation through an EU Joint Action;
- more systematic detection and diagnosis of structural heart disease; and
- proactive treatment. Find out more here.
Since its launch, the Coalition will now work together to turn these messages into concrete actions at both the EU level and in EU countries.
