The continual stream of published science coupled with emphasis on practice improvement requirements has created a need for consensus building conversations that can guide practical practice change delivered at the point-of-care. However, finding the time to critically appraise the evidence or consider the practice implications has led the ACC to seek solutions not only for their members but all cardiovascular providers.

ACC’s educational program, ACC Journal Club offers opportunities to challenge emerging science, critique applicability to practice, consider practical point-of care solutions and cultivate future research opportunities that collective lead to improved cardiovascular health.

This activity is in response to the 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease.
