ABC is a proud partner of National Heart Valve Disease (HVD) Awareness Day.

The Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) is proud to partner with the Alliance for Aging Research for Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day on Feb. 22 — part of American Heart Month. More than 11 million Americans are affected by heart valve disease (HVD), yet many remain undiagnosed. Risk factors such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol are prevalent in Black communities, making awareness critical. Help spread the word!
