The ACC Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Section was created in March 2014 and emerged from the original ACC Prevention Committee when it became clear that cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, both nationally and globally, was becoming a key priority of the college. Today, the prevention section is one of the most active and important groups.

The section's mission is to promote CVD prevention to our patients and cardiovascular team through advocacy, education, and research. The section serves as the primary home for ACC members interested in the broad area of CVD prevention. It includes members who are experts and leaders in all aspects of prevention, including cardiac imaging, cardiac rehabilitation, cardiometabolic disorders and diabetes, CVD risk assessment, digital strategy, disparities of care, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, nutrition and tobacco cessation.

Fuster Prevention Forum: Primordial Prevention in Childhood

October 19, 2026

Announcements

In a JACC: Advances viewpoint, Ramzi Ibrahim, MD, reflects on the inaugural Fuster Prevention Forum, part of the broader Fuster Heart Movement initiative, arguing that cardiovascular medicine should do more to prevent disease before patients ever reach a cardiologist. Citing evidence that cardiovascular risk begins in childhood, he challenges the field to shift more training, resources, and prevention efforts upstream. Ibrahim highlights the Forum's mission to equip clinicians to bring early prevention strategies back to their communities and concludes that, despite remaining evidence gaps, the potential to add decades of healthy life makes primordial prevention in early childhood a compelling priority. Read the full viewpoint.
