World Heart Day 2025 is a reminder that keeping good care of our heart health is not only important but also essential to life. In India, where we have noticed that cardiovascular disease is becoming more prevalent and severe, we cannot afford to wait for hidden symptoms to show up all of a sudden before intervening. This year’s theme, “Don’t Miss a Beat” is very relevant and acts as a real-time prompt to remain vigilant – to potential health risks, to subtle warning signs, and to the decisions that have the power to alter our future. In the current time, prevention extends beyond lifestyle choices. With genetic testing, we may identify hidden hazards encoded in our DNA and take action decades before any such illness appears, especially heart diseases. We can create healthier families, more productive societies, and stronger hearts by fusing personalised genetic insights with preventive treatment and a good lifestyle. Having said that, the goal of heart protection is to preserve life for future generations, not only to prolong it.
