An updated guide to the latest research on heart disease and stroke is filled with crucial data for experts fighting those debilitating problems.
But to those responsible for the guide, the “2026 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics: A Report of U.S. and Global Data From the American Heart Association” is about more than lines on charts.
“The data provided in the statistics update may look like just numbers to many,” Dr. Stacey E. Rosen, the American Heart Association’s volunteer president, said in a news release. “But to the American Heart Association, they are lives on the line.”
The update, which the Association has produced annually since 1927, was published Jan. 21 in the journal Circulation.
