American Heart Association is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular disease
and stroke.
Families in every Missouri community benefit from research we have funded nationwide that has led to many lifesaving discoveries, including CPR, pacemakers, bypass surgery, artificial heart valves, microsurgery and life-extending drugs. . . but many medical challenges remain.
