Mission Statement

The mission of the Council on Cardiovascular and Stroke Nursing is to accelerate the discovery, translation and application of knowledge to promote and improve overall cardiovascular health. Our efforts focus on contributing nursing’s biopsychosocial expertise to AHA's global agenda to promote ideal cardiovascular health, quality of life, and heart healthy lifestyles and environments.

The risk factors for stroke and heart disease can be similar, so what’s good for the brain is good for the heart. A few simple steps toward getting healthier is a great way to avoid both diseases – and feel better and enjoy your life more. Start by checking your cardiovascular health with the My Life Check® Assessment.
