The Alliance consists of experts at the intersection of aging, cardiovascular health, healthcare policy and practice, patient advocacy, and communications – all committed to stimulating education, awareness, and policy action that will improve understanding, lead to earlier diagnosis, and mitigate individual, family and economic burdens of this insufficiently recognized and costly disease condition.

Formed in 2019, the Alliance was borne out of a series of think tanks held by GCOA around the world throughout 2018. The Alliance includes more than 30 partners from diverse geographies, disciplines, and areas of expertise, aligned by a Consensus Statement and Call to Action, and pursuing research and strategic communications to advance its goals.
