Lives are often cut tragically short and many are left disabled. Each year almost 9,000 people die from heart disease and stroke, one of the country’s biggest killers.

It doesn’t have to be this way, and our vision is for a future where no hearts are broken by preventable heart disease and stroke. This is why the Irish Heart Foundation was founded in 1966. As the national stroke and heart charity, we work every day to save lives and heal hearts.
