We must stand together
Greetings from our CEO and chairman of the board and president
倡导系统变革
We know that cardiovascular disease causes 17 million deaths worldwide every year. That’s why we are standing up to the scourge of tobacco companies, bringing lifesaving research innovations to market and working relentlessly to give everyone the chance to eat healthier.
反对烟草公司
Flavored tobacco products contribute to higher rates of heart disease, stroke and other illnesses.
A Stanford and AHA report documented tobacco companies have intentionally marketed their deadly products to Black, 西班牙裔和年轻人. The results have been tragically effective: 85% of Black and 48% of Hispanic people who smoke use menthol. More than half of teenagers who start smoking begin with menthol. Flavored tobacco products contribute to higher rates of heart disease, stroke and other illnesses.
Through our Tobacco Endgame strategy, we’re determined to end this blight.
You’re the Cure buoyed the federal government’s proposed regulations to remove menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars from the market, with more than 4,100条在线评论支持该规定.
无意外账单:倡导无意外法案
“多亏了《沙巴足球体育平台》, 心脏骤停的病人, heart attack or stroke can now focus on their urgent medical needs and not have to worry about receiving a financially devastating surprise bill,美国心脏协会首席执行官南希·布朗说.
After four years of dedicated work by our nationwide network of grassroots advocates, 《沙巴足球体育平台》已经生效, shielding people from unexpected bills and financial disaster.
Surprise medical billing occurs when a patient is billed directly for out-of-network medical care they thought their insurance would cover. 这些账单可能高达数千美元.

心脏健康新数字
基于十多年来的最新科学研究, we revamped the components identified as crucial to achieving ideal cardiovascular health and added one: sleep.
Life 's Simple™已成为Life 's Essential™. 基于十多年来的最新科学研究, we revamped the components identified as crucial to achieving ideal cardiovascular health and added one: sleep. The eight components can be divided between behaviors and health factors. Collectively, they represent a pathway to better health by reducing the risks of heart disease, 中风和其他重大问题, 比如癌症和痴呆.
Life’s Essential 8 also provides sharper tools to measure cardiovascular health. 我们修改了定义和指标, assessed it in the context of the life course and acknowledged the importance of social and economic factors.
All of this culminates in a 100-point measure of heart health available online.
