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:
- Prevent development of risk factors.
- Detect and treat risk factors.
- Early recognition and treatment of acute coronary syndromes
and stroke.
- 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.
