#EUScreeningWeek took centre stage in Brussels today, where Health Commissioner @OliverVarhelyi led by example and underwent cardiovascular screening right outside the European Commission building.
The Belgian Society of Cardiology joined the initiative, helping highlight key cardiovascular risk factors and the value of knowing your numbers.
