Where you live shouldn’t determine your access to timely, lifesaving cardiovascular care.
New research highlighted at #ScientificSessions26 raises important questions about the challenges rural residents face during a heart attack. Building strong, coordinated systems of care can help connect people with the right care when every minute matters.
VIDEO #ScientificSessions26 - Rural residents faced nearly 3x higher risk of heart attack death before reaching a hospital - American Heart Association #ScientificSessions26 abstract MDP2406. American Heart Association volunteer expert, Johanna Paola Contreras, M.D., FAHA, says the "best gift that you can give your kids and your family is health". newsroom.heart.org/file/dr-c…

The most important clues about your heart health may not be happening right now. They can be hidden in experiences from years earlier.
“Looking back at my health history, I did not realize that what happened prior would affect my future when it comes to my health.”
From your first period through postmenopause, every stage of life can offer important insights into your future health. Understanding the full picture can help guide more personalized prevention, screening and care.

Every girl and woman deserves care that sees her whole heart health picture—from puberty through pregnancy, menopause and beyond. Now, for the first time, @American_Heart, @AmerAcadPeds, @acog, and @MySMFM have united around a shared, science-based framework and clinical guidance to identify cardiovascular risk, act earlier and save women’s lives.
My heartfelt thanks to @HeartDocSadiya for chairing this first-of-its-kind collaborative, and to the extraordinary clinicians who contributed their deep expertise and leadership to changing the future of women’s health.

Protecting your heart is just one piece of the puzzle. New guidance on the four stages of a woman’s life highlights the connection between heart health, hormones and mental well-being to help women get care that fits her life.
The American Heart Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists and Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine developed this landmark framework, announced today, to support a woman’s heart health across her life course. The female life stages are: 1. Around the first period (around ages 8-15); 2. Menstrual cycling (around ages 15-44); 3. Menopause transition or perimenopause (around ages 45-51); and 4. Postmenopause (around age 51 and after).
Each stage plays an important role in current and future cardiovascular health. The recommendations in the 2026 Compendium on Women's Cardiovascular Health Across the Life Course support more female-specific screening, prevention and treatment considerations throughout a woman's life.

During CPR & AED Awareness Week, Congress has a clear opportunity: fully fund the HEARTS Act and help schools save lives.
Preparedness should not be left up to chance.

We’re RED-y for you, Congress!
Our #HeartPowered advocates are on Capitol Hill today urging their lawmakers to fund the HEARTS Act.
Passed unanimously by Congress and signed into law in 2024, the HEARTS Act authorizes a grant program to help schools buy AEDs, train staff and students in CPR and establish cardiac emergency response plans - but it needs funding to start saving lives! Follow along today with our advocates. 🧵⬇️
