ACP has joined the Million Hearts Campaign, an initiative that aims to prevent a million heart attacks and strokes over the next five years.

The campaign seeks to empower Americans to make healthy choices, such as avoiding tobacco use and reducing sodium and trans-fat consumption, as well as to improve care for people who need medical treatment. The Million Hearts campaign focuses on the “ABCS”: Aspirin for people at risk, Blood pressure control, Cholesterol management and Smoking cessation, addressing the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In addition to supporting the campaign, the College offers several resources related to heart attack and stroke prevention.
