In September 2022, the United Nations General Assembly officially declared September 16 as the International Day for Interventional Cardiology. This day serves to heighten awareness regarding cardiovascular diseases, associated procedures, and complications. Additionally, it acknowledges the global impact of interventional cardiology on heart health.

Annually celebrated on September 16, the World Health Organization (WHO) has provided guidance on the General Assembly resolution that designates this day, and the WHO has been invited to facilitate its implementation.
