World Heart Observatory

The World Heart Federation aims to become the reference organization for information, knowledge, and policy in the global cardiovascular sphere.

As part of our strategic objectives, we launched the World Heart Observatory: a knowledge hub that curates, aggregates, and visualizes data on cardiovascular conditions, biological risk factors, social determinants of health, and health systems and policy responses.

Together with trusted partners, WHF is developing the Observatory in stages, as:

1. An online hub for existing but disconnected data initiatives in the cardiovascular health space;
2. An online hub for WHF’s data projects, including CVD Scorecards, Roadmap Surveys, and the Global Study on COVID-19 and CVD;
3. A searchable dashboard of our Members’ data projects;
4. A driver of capacity building around data in cardiovascular health; and
5. A generator of new analysis with data from our Members and partners.
