JACC Data Report

“Progress in cardiovascular health has always depended on data—on our willingness to reflect the evidence clearly, to face uncomfortable truths, and to use evidence to guide action.”

Harlan KrumholzEditor-in-Chief of JACC, Yale University

“If we want a healthier future, we must understand how far we have come, how far we have yet to go and what stands in our way. By putting data at the center of JACC's collective awareness, we aim to help the cardiovascular community, including clinicians, researchers, policymakers and the public, see the landscape clearly and chart a more effective path forward.”

“Progress depends on... being honest about where we are, where we've made gains, and where we're falling behind. Our goal was to make the state of cardiovascular health clear not just to researchers and clinicians, but also to patients, the public, and policymakers who shape decisions that directly affect cardiovascular health.”
