Message from the Chair
The Council on Clinical Cardiology (CLCD) has a long history, starting with its origin in 1952. Since that time, the purpose of the Council has been to help promote excellence in clinical cardiology, advance the science in a variety of clinical cardiology areas, and foster professional development and education. Through these activities, we help to achieve the mission of the American Heart Association.
