                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing support for the inaugural Heart Recovery Awareness Day on 
                           February 20, 2025.

Whereas cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death both globally and 
        in the United States;
Whereas one-third of all global deaths in 2021 were caused by a cardiovascular 
        condition;
Whereas cardiovascular disease accounted for 12 percent of total United States 
        health expenditures from 2018-2019;
Whereas heart recovery, which preserves the native heart, is a burgeoning field 
        of medicine;
Whereas heart recovery will positively impact Medicare resources through reduced 
        hospital expenditures, reduced length of hospital stays, and fewer 
        repeat hospital visits;
Whereas heart recovery is increasingly helping patients live longer and fuller 
        lives with their native hearts intact; and
Whereas February 20, 2025, is designated to observe Heart Recovery Awareness 
        Day:
Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports--
            (1) the goals of Heart Recovery Awareness Day;
            (2) increasing awareness of innovative treatments available 
        to patients with cardiovascular disease;
            (3) improving outcomes and quality of life for patients 
        with heart failure; and
            (4) expanding access to treatments that change the standard 
        of care for heart failure, such that all Americans regardless 
        of age, gender, or geography can have an opportunity to 
        preserve their native heart.
                                 <all>
