Socio-Economic Impact

The invisible cost of cardiovascular disease

Beyond direct healthcare costs, the economic impact is amplified by absenteeism, presenteeism and loss of quality of life.

Reduced Absenteeism

People with active cardiovascular follow-up miss on average 60%⁵ fewer sick days. A programme for 500 people can prevent more than 3,000 lost days per year.

Quality of Life and Productivity

Hypertension and silent heart failure reduce cognitive capacity by up to 25%⁶. Treating these conditions improves concentration, decision-making and overall well-being.

Healthcare Cost Optimisation

Organisations with active cardiovascular health programmes report 15-30%⁷ reductions in claims related to cardiac events, lowering total healthcare costs.

Satisfaction and Retention

Differentiated health programmes increase beneficiary satisfaction and reduce turnover. 76%⁸ of people consider health benefits a decisive factor in their choices.
