The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is: "Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke."
This year the American Heart Association did what has never been done before. We defined ideal cardiovascular health by identifying seven health and behavior factors that affect health and quality of life: appropriate weight, nonsmoking, healthy eating pattern, regular exercise, and control of cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. Creating this new definition was required to set a bold new goal to direct the association’s strategies for the next decade. We wanted to go beyond measuring mortality and individual risk factors to measure cardiovascular health itself. Defining cardiovascular health became the linchpin to our 2020 Impact Goal: By 2020, to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent.
Defining ideal cardiovascular health took much work over many months by an expert team of volunteers and staff. When that was done, the goal was presented to the AHA National Board of Directors and accepted. On Jan. 20, we documented the goal’s scientific and statistical support in a statement published in our premier publication, Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. The national media responded with widespread coverage.
Our work to define ideal cardiovascular health has enormous implications. Now, for the first time, health agencies and governments worldwide have a standard for measuring the cardiovascular health of individuals and populations. We have provided a framework for grouping people by overall health: Poor, Intermediate and Ideal. Now movement from one health category to another can be tracked.
Our 2020 Impact Goal has already had a tremendous impact. But this is just the beginning. We are excited about our ambitious new goal, but we’re even more excited about our new strategies and steps to achieve it. This truly is a defining moment for the association.
