n 1921, heart disease became the leading cause of death in the United States for the first time in history. Unlike today, back then the common belief was that there was no hope. Heart disease was considered a death sentence.

Some doctors refused to accept that. They knew that if we could understand heart disease better, then we could find ways to treat, beat and even prevent it. Doing so would require research, vision, teamwork – and an organization bringing it all together. And so, in June 1924, six doctors created the American Heart Association.

A century later, our organization has greatly expanded its scope, yet we’ve remained committed to what our founders envisioned: saving, improving and extending lives.
