CVrisk-IT brings cardiovascular prevention to Wellness Week 2025
22 September 2025
The tenth edition of Wellness Week, the week dedicated to exercise and healthy lifestyles promoted by the Wellness Foundation and co-promoted by the Emilia-Romagna Region, is focusing this year on cardiovascular prevention, thanks to a partnership with the IRCCS Cardiology Network and the national CVrisk-IT project, the largest cardiovascular prevention programme ever launched in Italy.
Alongside sport, fitness, healthy eating, mental and physical wellbeing and wellness culture, heart health is also one of the central themes of the event, which will kick off on 23 September 2025 in Cesena, in the evocative setting of the Malatestiana Library. The inaugural event of Wellness Week 2025 – which coincides with European Sports Week – will be attended by representatives from institutions and the world of sport, including Massimo Fabi, Councillor for Health Policies for the Emilia-Romagna Region, Nerio Alessandri, President of the Wellness Foundation and Technogym, and motorcycle racer Andrea Dovizioso. The CVrisk-IT project will also be featured at the event with a presentation entitled “At the heart of prevention” with contributions from:
Know your risk: the CVrisk-IT LAB
Also as part of Wellness Week 2025, citizens will have the opportunity to participate in a special initiative dedicated to cardiovascular prevention: the ‘LAB – CVrisk-IT – Cardiovascular Risk Calculation’, scheduled for 27 and 28 September 2025 at the Cesena Racecourse Club, thanks to which it will be possible to find out your cardiovascular risk. The initiative is aimed at all healthy people between the ages of 40 and 80: to receive a personalised calculation, simply go to the Club (by appointment) with the results of a cholesterol test carried out in the previous six months.

Why is cardiovascular prevention important?
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Italy and Europe, accounting for about one-third of all deaths. Despite this, more than half of Italians believe they are not at risk. Prevention is therefore essential: knowing your risk level allows you to take early action by making healthier lifestyle choices and, when necessary, undergoing targeted treatments. Today, research – such as the CVrisk-IT project – aims to make this assessment increasingly personalised, integrating clinical, genetic and imaging data to offer tailor-made prevention strategies for each individual.
