Heart Valve Initiative Collaborators
From Collaboration to Impact: Advancing Heart Valve Care Together
The American Heart Association's Heart Valve Initiative™ strategically collaborates with professional societies, patient advocacy organizations, and other stakeholders committed to improving outcomes for people with heart valve disease. Through, education, quality improvement, and awareness efforts, these organizations help advance earlier diagnosis, timely treatment, and coordinated care.
Stronger Together: How Collaborators Support the Heart Valve Initiative
Heart valve disease remains under-recognized and often diagnosed late. Addressing these challenges requires coordinated action across healthcare, education, advocacy, research, and quality improvement.
The Heart Valve Initiative unites leading organizations around a shared commitment to improving heart valve care. By combining knowledge, resources, and influence, collaborators help accelerate awareness, strengthen clinical practice, enhance patient outcomes, and ensure more timely diagnosis, referral, and treatment for people affected by heart valve disease.
The Heart Valve Initiative includes multiple programs designed to improve awareness, education, and care delivery across the valve disease journey. Collaborators may support:
- Professional education,
- Patient engagement,
- Awareness
- Research and Innovation; and
- Target: Aortic Stenosis, the initiative's quality improvement program focused on improving diagnosis, referral, and treatment pathways
