Withings and the World Heart Federation have teamed up to help prevent cardiovascular diseases. Get informed and take action—for yourself and for those you love.
In 2016, the European Society of Cardiology published a comprehensive study on cardiovascular risk factors, risk assessment and prevention. The objective of this study was to give individuals the tools to assess their risk of suffering a fatal cardiovascular event in the coming years and explain how to reduce this risk.*
At Withings, we believe that health is our most important asset. We have created this survey based on the European Society of Cardiology study results so you can be aware of your cardiovascular health and take action if needed.
*Note: This study was carried out on European populations, who were primarily Caucasian. The cardiovascular risk was estimated for subjects between 40 and 70 years of age. For younger subjects, the risk is statistically very low, but the advice remains relevant. The use of this estimation method for non-Caucasian populations has not been studied. There is no such thing as zero risk. 0% as a result in this survey means that your current risk is not statistically significant, but it doesn’t mean that you have zero chance of suffering a cardiovascular disease or incident in the next 10 years.
Your heart is a muscle that contracts about 2.5 billion times over an average lifetime without ever taking a day off. If your circulatory system is under too much strain, the heart muscle needs to increase its efforts. This condition is called hypertension, and an estimated 1 in 3 people have it. It is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease. The good news is—it is often preventable.
#KnowYourNumbers
One-third of people who have high blood pressure don’t know it.
Take deep breaths
Deep breathing for as little as 10 minutes a day can help to lower blood pressure.
When sleep matters
Each hour of reduced sleep corresponds to a 37% increase in the likelihood of hypertension.
Tracking your blood pressure at home with an approved device is recommended by the American Heart Association and European Society for Hypertension, and may be key to managing hypertension.
Learn moreAs many cardiovascular issues such as hypertension, atrial fibrillation or valvular heart disease have no symptoms in the early stages, knowing your risk factors and early detection are key.
10 years
Aortic stenosis, the most common primary valve disease in Europe and North America, may be latent for more than 10 years before the onset of severe symptoms.
5x
Those with untreated atrial fibrillation have 5 times the risk of stroke. Appropriate medical treatment can lower this risk by 70 to 80%.
20 years
Screening for coronary artery disease including cholesterol, blood pressure and BMI should begin at age 20.
