How we are changing the future of health together
Since the American Heart Association’s founding in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. And yet, there are still so many lives to be saved. By driving breakthroughs in science, policy and care, together we can continue to advance health and transform lives every day.
19 Million+
High blood pressure patients helped
Our high blood pressure quality care initiative ensures lifesaving care for people at risk for heart disease.
$5 Billion+
Invested in pioneering research leading to lifesaving breakthroughs
We've funded more heart, brain and cardiovascular research than any non-profit U.S. organization except the federal government.
22 Million
People trained in CPR every year
9 out of 10 people who have a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital die. If performed immediately, CPR can double or triple a person's chances of survival.
Amy Grant: Musician & Survivor
In 2020, Grammy Award winner Amy Grant underwent open-heart surgery to correct a rare condition affecting her heart, which her doctor referred to as a ticking time bomb. Grant specifically credits the research and medical breakthroughs funded by the American Heart Association as the reason she has more time to do the things she loves – with those she loves.
