American Heart Association

Who has been benefited by the AHA? The American Heart Association has benefited many people. They help people who face heart problems, stroke, and diabetes. In other words, they want to reduce the number of deaths. The reason behind this is because these 3 problems are on the top 10 reasons why people die. Some examples of heart problems are heart failure, heart disease, and cardiac arrest. In addition, those who have faced these are changing their lifestyles so that they can fight these diseases. As stated from the website (heart.org), it points out that people have to change their diets, and how they do things in life. For example, patients have to learn to walk slower than their average speed. When doing this, patients have a better chance of surviving for a longer period of time. Specifically, the least amount of deaths happening is exactly what the AHA wants. They want to decrease the amount by 20% or more if they can. Therefore, I can conclude that the American Heart Association has benefited millions of people around the world, helping all in need. What inspired the AHA to be created?…

The American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. (American heart association) 1924, six cardiologists, recognizing a need for a national association, formed the American Heart Association (AHA). They thought a national organization could efficiently share research and promote findings better than as separate groups. “The AHA remained small until the 1940s”, when a big donation from Procter and Gamble caught…

In 1997, the American Heart Association brought together the organization’s stroke-related activities as American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

For this weeks assignment I chose to discuss the ethical practices of the American Heart Association. “The American Heart Association (AHA) builds their research team on values of Integrity, Excellence, Vision, Dedication, Inclusiveness, and Sensitivity” (AHA, 2011).

For this paper, I chose to look into the typical Brazilian diet and analyze it. I specifically wanted to look into the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and how the foods commonly eaten in this culture can play a role in this. This topic is important to study because of the tragically high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Brazil. According to The Global Heart journal, “Over the last 5 decades, CVD have been the leading cause of death in Brazil” (Mota, Mattos, Oliveira, &…

Why do we need to be aware of heart disease in women? Heart disease is normally thought of as a “men’s disease”; however, statistically women are affected as much as men are. Signs and symptoms in women are not necessarily the classic symptoms of chest pain. Many women experience no signs or symptoms until they have heart failure, irregular heartbeat, or a heart attack (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NIH], 2014a). Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, affecting…
