On 17 December 2025, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published a press release highlighting the key outcomes of the EU-funded TO_AITION project, marking its completion at the end of December 2025. The press release emphasises that cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression frequently co-occur and significantly worsen patient outcomes, not by chance, but due to shared biological, inflammatory, and metabolic mechanisms. Despite this strong connection, the two conditio

At TO_AITION, our mission is to deepen understanding of the powerful connection between cardiovascular health and mental wellbeing and to bring that knowledge to every generation. This year, our Awareness Campaign reached across digital platforms, into public schools, and onto screens through our dedicated awareness video, encouragingadults, teens, and children to pause, reflect, and rethink the powerful connection between the heart and the mind. As part of our digital outrea

The Final Meeting of the TO_AITION EU-funded project was successfully held on 9 December 2025 in Athens, Greece, marking the completion of a six-year collaborative research effort under the Horizon 2020 programme. The meeting brought together representatives from all consortium partners for a comprehensive review of the project’s scientific, technological, and dissemination outcomes, reflecting TO_AITION’s integrated approach to understanding the comorbidity between cardiovas

The ESC Digital & AI Summit 2025 , held in Berlin on Friday, 21 November - Saturday, 22 November 2025, convened leading experts, clinicians, and researchers to discuss advancements in digital technologies and artificial intelligence within cardiovascular medicine. The TO_AITION was prominently featured, reflecting the project’s contribution to the evolving landscape of cardiovascular and mental health research. Our project partner, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), h

On 13 October 2025, following World Mental Health Day (10 October), our partner European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published an official press release highlighting key findings and outcomes of the EU-funded TO_AITION project. The release underscores the growing evidence linking cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mental health, and the need for integrated approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and care. The ESC press release emphasises that depression affects more than 300 milli

In this episode of the CardioTalk – Latest Research podcast series, the TO_AITION Project explores a paradigm shift in understanding cardiovascular diseases and depression. Instead of treating these conditions as independent clinical entities, the discussion reframes them as interconnected, with overlapping immunological, biological, and systemic mechanisms that contribute to their comorbidity. Professor Evangelos Andreakos, TO_AITION Coordinator and Head of the Immunology La

The TO_AITION Project proudly contributed to the CardioTalk – Latest Research podcast series organised by the European Society of Cardiology, presenting the latest insights and breakthroughs from the project. This episode highlights how TO AITION addresses the complex comorbidity between cardiovascular disease and depression, focusing on shared biological mechanisms, immunological pathways, and system-level interactions that influence disease onset, progression, and patient o

This year’s ESC Congress 2025 , held together with the World Congress of Cardiology in Madrid, brought together thousands of cardiovascular professionals from around the globe to explore how cutting-edge science can transform patient care. Within this vibrant setting, TO_AITION highlighted how data-driven research can be translated into practical tools for clinicians, through a dedicated focus on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression comorbidity. On Sunday, 31 August,
