Members of the SHD Coalition
The Coalition brings together a group of European experts including key opinion leaders, a wide variety of stakeholder groups, including researchers, patients, and industry to work together with the aim of prioritising SHD in policy. The initial goal of the members of the Coalition is to work towards a European Joint Action on age-related Structural Heart Disease with an emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment. This will require strong communication on the burden of SHDs in Europe, political prioritisation at EU level as well as robust national support.
