Description: The American Heart Association (AHA) publishes guideline statements to provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based recommendations for the optimal treatment of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. These guidelines, developed through expert consensus, rigorous peer review, and approval by the AHA’s Science Advisory and Coordinating Committee, serve as a foundation for standardizing care across diverse healthcare settings. This session will explore the development process, clinical implications, and strategies for integrating AHA guidelines into practice to enhance patient outcomes and ensure consistency in cardiovascular care. This session is part of the Core Cardiology track: sessions providing practical guidance for both cardiologists and the broader community of healthcare providers.
