World Heart Day 2007 was celebrated in Valencia with free health checks, counselling and group physical exercises under the theme "United for a Healthy Heart". The goal of the checks was to raise awareness of the importance of prevention of cardiovascular disease through the adoption of healthy lifestyles and the reduction of coronary risk factors. Approximately 500 people were tested for high blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose as well as for body-mass index.
