The American Society for Preventive Cardiology: Our 30-year legacy


The American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC) has as its mission “to promote the prevention of cardiovascular disease, advocate for the preservation of cardiovascular health, and disseminate high-quality, evidence-based information through the education of
healthcare clinicians and their patients.” The origins of ASPC date back to a working group of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute scientists who recommended curricula be developed to facilitate medical-school teaching and research aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Sixty institutions (48% of US medical schools) were among the 13 classes receiving National Institutes of Health Preventive Cardiology Academic Awards (PCAA) from 1979 to 1996.
PCAA awardees have written preventive-cardiology textbooks and served in various leadership roles within the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (AHA)
