Mission Statement
The American Heart Association created the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences in 1999 to promote research and education.  Our goal is to improve understanding of mechanisms of basic cardiovascular regulation to support the development of new therapies and insights into clinical cardiovascular disease. Special emphasis is placed on integrating molecular/cellular and physiological approaches to address problems relating to functional genomics, cell signaling, myocardial biology, circulatory physiology, pathophysiology and peripheral vascular disease.
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.
