(Lembrado por Mário Maranhão)
Please find below links to the December 2005 issue of Heartbeat, Newsletter of the World Heart Federation. In this issue, Valentin Fuster and Sidney Smith co-sign the editorial on the World Congress of Cardiology 2006, stressing the fact that this will be a special opportunity to exchange knowledge and ideas as well as to extend the hand of friendship to all who suffer from cardiovascular disease. There is a lack of global recognition of the burden linked with chronic disease and its impact. In his article “Preventing chronic disease - a vital investment”, Robert Beaglehole presents the WHO report launched in response to this situation, calling for urgent global action. For the same reason, Valentin Fuster and Janet Voûte called for the importance of including chronic diseases in the Millennium Development Goals in an article reprinted with permission from the Lancet : "MDGs: chronic diseases are not on the agenda". Articles on awareness building projects of the World Heart Federation such as World Heart Day ( "World Heart Day 2005: a resounding success" and "World Heart day wins again" ) and Go Red for Women ( "A Go Red for Women campaign for every WHF member") are also included in this issue. As usual, you will also find our list of Forthcoming Congresses & Events as well as the list of National congresses of Societies of Cardiology for 2006. Enjoy your reading! Best regards, Danielle Grizeau-Clemens Science Information Officer World Heart Federation
