The American Heart Association is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing heart disease and stroke and to advancing cardiovascular health — its stated mission is “to be a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.” It funds research, develops evidence-based guidelines (including ECC and CPR), and provides education and resources for patients, caregivers, educators, and health professionals. The AHA runs public health campaigns and training (like Nation of Lifesavers), mobilizes volunteers, and sustains its work through fundraising, donations, events, and retail (ShopHeart).
