Abstract
This article examines the role of social support—encompassing emotional, informational, and practical dimensions—across every stage of cardiovascular care, from early detection to treatment and recovery. Social prescribing is a personalized method that links patients to nonmedical support and services, such as arts and craft classes, walking groups, and coffee clubs. By encouraging meaningful engagement, social prescribing can enhance the effectiveness of social support networks and promote overall health. Thus, to effectively improve social determinants of cardiovascular health, it is crucial to integrate solutions, such as social prescribing, into health care strategies.
