European Parliament, European Commission and the World Health Organization join to explore the EU’s abilities and commitment to face the global NCDs pandemic, with a focus on cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Known as Tele-cardiology, this approach has demonstrated positive outcomes in national programmes but there are some obstacles to overcome before it can be fully exploited to the benefit of all EU citizens.
