European Society of Cardiology

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) is a prominent international organization dedicated to advancing cardiovascular health. It is one of the world's leading cardiovascular health groups. The ESC is currently newsworthy due to its recent involvement in establishing the first universal definition of a heart attack. This significant update aims to improve diagnosis and treatment, particularly for women who have historically been underserved in heart attack care. Furthermore, the ESC, in conjunction with other cardiologist groups, has recently offered guidance on reducing the intake of ultra-processed foods, emphasizing home cooking and mindful eating as key strategies. These developments highlight the ESC's ongoing commitment to shaping clinical practice, improving patient outcomes, and promoting public health through evidence-based recommendations and global collaboration.
