In support of the ACC’s Health Equity Strategy, this educational activity is designed to inspire and achieve a culture of health where every person reaches their full cardiovascular health potential as a natural right. The course includes two primary resources:

• Heart2Heart Stage Session entitled, Making Progress in Health Equity: In My Clinical Practice, Today, which reviews definitions and concepts related to health equity. It also incorporates case studies that highlight health inequities in varied practice settings and patient populations.
• JACC article entitled, Paving the Way for Health Equity in Cardiology, which articulates the creation of the path to health equity in the cardiovascular field.

Please start by completing a short Pre-Test to assess your knowledge in Health Equity. If you don't pass on your first attempt, it is recommended that you watch the presentation Making Progress in Health Equity: In My Clinical Practice, Today. 

The cases listed below are designed to be taken at your leisure. 

• Management of New Onset Heart Failure
• Cardiac Arrest Management in a Young Black Woman
