  • Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of CPR!

    In 1960, a group of resuscitation pioneers combined mouth-to-mouth breathing with chest compressions to create Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, the lifesaving action we now call “CPR.” This action, when provided immediately after a sudden cardiac arrest, can double – even triple – a victim’s chance of survival.

    Join us throughout this anniversary year as we celebrate CPR and the people whose lives it has saved over the last 50 years!

  • You're the Cure

    You don't have to be a doctor to save lives. Just be willing to deliver a lifesaving message to public officials whenever you can. Maybe you've already participated with the American Heart Association before by walking in a Heart Walk. Or perhaps you've helped organize a gala event. Maybe you even helped someone survive a heart attack or stroke. At moments like these, You're the Cure. Even if you're someone who wants to get involved for the first time, you can be part of the cure.

One of the Great Rivers Affiliate volunteers becomes editor-in-chief of Circulation!

PHILADELPHIA, July 29, 2009 — Roberto Bolli, M.D., is the new editor-in-chief of Circulation Research: Journal of the American Heart Association.

Bolli, chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and director of the Institute of Molecular Cardiology at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, will assume his role with the July 31 issue of the journal, posted online on July 30.

“It is an honor and a privilege to serve as editor-in-chief of this prestigious and critically important scientific journal,” Bolli said. “In an era of incredibly rapid progress in cardiovascular medicine, the scientific discoveries leading to the next generation of clinical advances will appear first in the pages of Circulation Research.”


Circulation Research, the official bi-weekly journal of the American Heart Association’s Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences, is devoted to new basic science research from all disciplines related to cardiac and vascular biology and cardiovascular disease. The journal presents the most significant research from fields including cellular biology, molecular biology and molecular genetics, as well as biochemistry, biophysics, pathology, physiology and pharmacology.

Each issue of Circulation Research features reports on molecular medicine, cellular biology and integrative physiology. Respected investigators and clinicians present editorials and authoritative reviews on topics of special interest, providing readers with indispensible perspectives on new and emerging scientific concepts.

“We are on the threshold of amazing new discoveries in areas such as regenerative cardiology, embryonic development of the heart and blood vessels and the genetics of cardiovascular disease,” Bolli said. “My associate editors and I are eager to meet the challenge of guiding the journal through the next phase in its evolution.”
