Video Summary

In the 1920s, the American Heart Association initiated bold transformations in patient care. They funded research leading to the first human heart defibrillation, fought against cigarette advertising, and advocated for health awareness. The AHA highlighted risks like tobacco and inactivity, organized heart walks, promoted healthy meals legislation, and educated over 1.5 million students in CPR annually. Their global collaboration focused on health equity, social determinants, and innovative research towards saving lives. Addressing disparities, especially in rural areas, the AHA remains dedicated to preventing cardiovascular disease and promoting overall well-being for all individuals.
