The Spanish Society of Medical Radiology (SERAM) and the Spanish Society of Cardiac Imaging (SEICAT) have applauded the European Commission’s recently launched “Safe Hearts Plan.”
The Safe Hearts Plan was launched in December 2025 and is the European Union’s first comprehensive strategy to tackle cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death in Europe, SERAM and SEICAT noted. The initiative focuses on prevention, early diagnosis, and equity in access to healthcare.
“SERAM and SEICAT agree that these objectives cannot be achieved without recognizing the strategic role of medical imaging, and in particular cardiac imaging, as a cross-cutting tool throughout the entire healthcare process,” the groups wrote.
The Safe Hearts Plan also advocates for more proactive and precision medicine, supported by technological innovation, digitalization, and the responsible use of AI.
SERAM and SEICAT said they reaffirm their commitment to collaborate with other scientific societies and health authorities to promote the effective implementation of the Safe Hearts Plan in Spain, both in clinical practice and in the realm of health policy.
