$20 million awarded to lead next century of heart disease and stroke scientific research

Summary: The American Heart Association is giving $20 million to more than 100 scientists across the country. Why? To find exciting new ways to fight heart disease and stroke. The group is getting ready to celebrate its 100th birthday in 2024. Back when it started in 1924, heart disease was usually a death sentence. Today, things are very different!

These new grants will help young doctors and researchers use cool, futuristic tech like artificial intelligence, smartwatches, and even bioengineered foods to keep our hearts healthy. The money will also focus on making sure people in all communities get the good health care they deserve so everyone can live a longer, healthier life.
