The ACC Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Section was created in March 2014 and emerged from the original ACC Prevention Committee when it became clear that cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, both nationally and globally, was becoming a key priority of the college. Today, the prevention section is one of the most active and important groups.

The section's mission is to promote CVD prevention to our patients and cardiovascular team through advocacy, education, and research. The section serves as the primary home for ACC members interested in the broad area of CVD prevention. It includes members who are experts and leaders in all aspects of prevention, including cardiac imaging, cardiac rehabilitation, cardiometabolic disorders and diabetes, CVD risk assessment, digital strategy, disparities of care, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, nutrition and tobacco cessation.

New CardioSmart SVT Tools

June 8, 2026

Resources From CardioSmart

Episodes of a racing heartbeat can be unsettling, yet many patients dismiss symptoms of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), especially when episodes are brief or intermittent. ACC’s CardioSmart has developed new resources, including an infographic and handout, to help patients recognize common signs and symptoms, understand diagnostic and treatment options, and feel more confident discussing concerns with their care team.

The new patient infographic is designed for use in waiting rooms, exam rooms, or as a take-home resource to help patients recognize symptoms, speak up about possible arrhythmias and learn more about available treatment options.

The patient handout provides clear, health-literate information about common symptoms, diagnostic testing and treatment approaches, including vagal maneuvers, medications and catheter ablation. It also encourages symptom tracking and includes suggested questions patients can ask their care team to support more informed conversations about symptom burden and treatment options.

Download the new patient tools to support SVT awareness and patient education.
