Recognizing the rise of cardiovascular disease as the world's leading cause of preventable death and disability and as the global public health crisis of this generation and supporting the recognition of February 2023 as "American Heart Month".

This resolution (HRES 175) is a symbolic recognition of cardiovascular disease as the leading preventable cause of death and disability globally, and it supports designating February 2023 as "American Heart Month." It does not create new laws or policies but formally acknowledges the public health impact of heart disease through congressional language. The resolution highlights statistics on heart disease deaths, costs, and disparities, while encouraging awareness, research, and access to care. It has no direct effect on individuals or funding but aligns with annual presidential proclamations recognizing February as American Heart Month.
