Every February since Lyndon Johnson proclaimed American Heart Month in 1963, there is a unique opportunity to shine a public spotlight on the impacts of cardiovascular disease and the importance of not only understanding the signs and symptoms, but also learning how to prevent heart disease. Join the CV Team #HeartMonthChallenge on Twitter and show us how you get 150 minutes of heart-healthy exercise each week! Use the hashtags #GET150 and #ACCCVT on your post and nominate three people to join the challenge.

Looking for more ways to participate in American Heart Month? Watch this Heart Month video from ACC President Dipti Itchhaporia, MD, FACC, and follow @ACCinTouch on Twitter all month long as the College takes part in Heart Month at large. Heart Month is also a great time to share CardioSmart's healthy lifestyle tools!
