American Heart Association

For more than a century, the American Heart Association has led the fight against heart disease and stroke — and we’re just getting started. Our impact is undeniable, from investing over $6 billion in groundbreaking cardiovascular research to mobilizing a movement of 35 million volunteers, donors, supporters and staff. Deaths from cardiovascular disease have been cut in half since our founding, yet the work ahead remains urgent. Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second. In a time of constant change and growing health challenges, we see opportunity: to drive innovation in science, policy and care, and to advance health and hope for everyone, everywhere.
