CARDIAC is a project for Kindergarten, 2nd and 5th grade students. The CARDIAC Project will help you and your family learn about heart disease and what you can do to prevent it or at least slow the process. We focus on surveillance - identifying kids that are at risk for heart disease, interventions - programs and methods that help educate kids and adults alike as well as give them the tools to live a healthier lifestyle, and research.
Parents are essential in helping the mission of the CARDIAC Project become a reality. We want to help you as you help your family live heart healthy. You can follow us on social media and stay informed with the latest news and research as well as practical tips for you and your family.
