About American Heart Association

The American Heart Association (AHA) is the world's oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting hypertension, heart disease and stroke, funds cardiovascular medical research, educates consumers on healthy living and fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and hypertension.

The AHA Professional Education Program on Hypertension Management elevates professional learning; it establishes a recognized standard for accessible and inclusive blood pressure care. This activity is designed as a vital pathway for practitioners to integrate the principles of the AHA's scientific statements and guidelines into their daily practice.

The AHA's Professional Development Program for Hypertension Management encourages the acquisition of specialized knowledge—especially concerning patient access and equity in care—and complements performance assessments for all members of the hypertension care team.

Through this commitment, we actively guarantee patients access to the highest quality and most equitable cardiovascular healthcare available globally.
