ACC infographics are visual representations of important health topics that are intended to provide guidance for clinicians at the point of care. The PDFs can be downloaded for free for easy reference. New infographics are being added to this library continually, so please check back.
For patient-facing infographics, please visit CardioSmart.org/Posters to access the most recent free CardioSmart infographics on several cardiovascular and lifestyle topics.
