Connect with the CEO:
What You Need to Know About Heart Attacks
Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 1:00
p.m. ET / noon CT

Nancy Brown
Chief Executive Officer
American Heart Association
|
|
|
Please join American Heart
Association Chief Executive Officer Nancy Brown and leading experts for
an in-depth discussion including:
|
- How to
recognize heart attack symptoms
- The AHA’s
science-based guidelines for preventing and treating heart attacks
- Disparities
in outcomes based on race, ethnicity and other factors
|
|
Health conditions, lifestyle,
family history and environment are among the risk factors for heart
disease, the No. 1 cause of death in the world. Societal factors also can
increase risks – so much so that heart disease rates and outcomes can
differ greatly based on where you were born and live. And about half of
all Americans have at least one of the three key risk factors for heart
disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking. The AHA is
dedicated to reducing heart attacks, tackling disparities and controlling
the risk factors that prevent optimal health.
Your and your family’s health is important to us. Please join us to hear
how you can reduce your risk and improve your health – before or after
heart attack.
