2022 HIGHLIGHTS
The annual awareness day on February 22 aims to increase recognition of the specific risks and symptoms of heart valve disease, improve detection and treatment, and ultimately save lives. While heart valve disease can be disabling and deadly, available treatments can save lives, making education and awareness particularly important. On this day and throughout the year, the campaign partners—100+ non-profits, advocacy organizations, professional societies, foundations, and hospitals and heart centers—are helping to spread the word about valve disease.
#AcceleratedApprovals are under attack and recent recommendations by MedPAC and MACPAC to block this critical pathway could cost lives.
Join us on July 27th to learn about accelerated approvals and its impact on the community at large.
