Mission Statement

The mission of the American Heart Association Council on Functional Genomics and Translational Biology (FGTB) is to advance discovery, translation and application across the spectrum of functional genomics and translational biology into cardiovascular health promotion. Integral to the American Heart Association operation, the FGTB Council provides a premier cross-disciplinary forum promoting and integrating new knowledge from molecules to populations in translational cardiovascular science and medicine.

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.
