Remembering Dr. Eugene Braunwald
Eugene Braunwald, widely known as the father of modern cardiology, has died at age 96. In honor of Dr. Braunwald’s extraordinary impact, the American Heart Association is establishing a memorial fund to support cardiovascular research and ensure his legacy continues to change lives.
How we are changing the future of health together
Since the American Heart Association’s founding in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. And yet, there are still so many lives to be saved. By driving breakthroughs in science, policy and care, together we can continue to advance health and transform lives every day.
