Council on Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health

Message from the Chair

The science of lifestyle and cardiometabolic health has profound implications for how we prevent, treat, and ultimately reverse cardiovascular disease and stroke — and sits at the heart of the American Heart Association’s mission to build a world of longer, healthier lives. I am deeply grateful for the strong scientific and community foundation built by those who led this Council before me and energized every day by the extraordinary work our members do to advance this field — and by the opportunity to help shape what comes next.
