On Wednesday, January 20, 2010, the American Heart Association announced its new national goal: By 2020, improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent. This is the first time the American Heart Association has adopted better health as a principal goal.
As a cornerstone of this initiative to help people improve their heart health, the American Heart Association has developed a new online resource – My Life Check™ (www.heart.org/MyLifeCheck). Medicom Digital staff worked with scientists from the American Heart Association to create this interactive assessment that easily identifies the seven goals for ideal heart health and notes where a person is on the spectrum of heart health.
