Advancing Heart Health and Equity During the COVID-19 Pandemic In recognition of American Heart Month, a new blog post by AHRQ leaders highlights Agency efforts to advance heart health by synthesizing and implementing evidence to improve outcomes and reduce health inequities. Arlene S. Bierman, M.D., M.S., director of the agency's Center for Evidence and Practice Improvement, and David Meyers, M.D., AHRQ's acting director, note that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented new challenges to people living with heart disease and their healthcare providers. In response, AHRQ has revised its TAKEheart initiative to increase the use of cardiac rehabilitation among heart attack and stroke victims. Meanwhile, the Agency's EvidenceNOW: Advancing Heart Health in Primary Care initiative is helping more than 1,500 small- and medium-sized primary care practices across the United States improve the heart health of millions of Americans. |
