The sponsoring organizations have united to develop CVH 2002 as a way to bring increased attention to the Healthy People 2010 objectives related to cardiovascular health and disease. The conference program will enable health professionals to implement practices designed to significantly reduce cardiovascular disease in all communities by the year 2010.

CVH 2002 Plenary Session Topics and Speakers

The cardiovascular-related goals and objectives of Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010) will serve as the framework for the CVH 2002 program. Each plenary session, concurrent session, and abstract presentation will focus primarily on one of the four HP 2010 Performance Goal Areas:

1. Prevent development of risk factors.
2. Detect and treat risk factors.
3. Early recognition and treatment of acute coronary syndromes and stroke.
4. Prevent recurrence and complications of cardiovascular disease.

In addition, the HP 2010 overarching goals of increasing quality and years of healthy life and eliminating health disparities will be fundamental to the entire conference.

In its entirety, the multifaceted nature of CVH 2002 is meant to provide a comprehensive and integrated approach to the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and provide attendees the knowledge and skills that they will need to bring about meaningful change in their communities and with their patients when they return home.
