About Billion Hearts Beating

Studies over the last 60 years show an alarmingly high rate of coronary heart disease and premature heart disease among Indians.

It is estimated that Indians are nearly four times more susceptible to heart attacks than Caucasians, with 25% of attacks happening to people under the age of 40 - unheard of in other populations.

While the problem has its roots in lack of regular physical activity, poor blood cholesterol levels, poor eating habits and stress, there is one more reason ; a genetic predisposition. Scientific research reveals that Indians are genetically more prone to heart disease, prompting research efforts to identify this mutant gene and neutralize it.

Current research has identified 7 risk factors. These 7 together also present the solution, for if these risk factors are addressed, heart disease can be significantly reduced.

Communication, it was felt, was the key to addressing these risk factors and increasing general awareness about how heart disease could be countered.

Accordingly, Apollo Hospitals Group took the lead in launching a 360-degree campaign, articulated as 'Billion Hearts Beating', in partnership with The Times of India, in April 2010. The creative output included press and electronic media and on-ground activation.

The campaign achieved the critical mass in terms of engaging people to visit the website to take a pledge for a healthy heart. Contemporary messaging, easy-on-the-eye visuals and simplicity were the defining points in making the campaign effective and memorable.^[7]
