定期锻炼，良好的饮食习惯，对疾病及其警告信号的了解以及执行CPR（心肺复苏术）的能力对于预防和对抗心血管疾病（CVD）和中风都很重要。2005-2006年，美国心脏协会在388个城市非裔美国人/黑人和拉丁美洲人/西班牙裔信仰机构（所有教派的教堂）发起了“搜索你的心脏”心血管疾病干预，以提高成员对心血管疾病和中风的知识和准备。干预措施包括：（a）向所有参与教会的388名“大使”分发定制的多组分CVD和中风相关教育和技能发展包;（B）AHA工作人员协调大使的教育课程;（c）211名大使协调在其教会开展至少一项CVD教育活动。2006年5月，向211名与美国人道主义协会遗产分会有联系的大使分发了一份书面调查表，调查范围包括新泽西、康涅狄格、长岛和纽约市，目的是：（a）评估干预措施的效果;（B）根据调查结果规划和实施有针对性的前瞻性干预办法。调查问题涉及定期锻炼，健康饮食，疾病知识，警告信号和执行CPR的能力。
Regular exercise, good dietary habits, knowledge of the disease and its warning signs as well as ability to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) are all important to prevent and combat Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Stroke. In 2005-2006, an AHA sponsored "Search Your Heart" cardiovascular disease intervention was conducted in 388 urban African-American/black and Latino/Hispanic faith based institutions, all churches of various denominations, to improve members' knowledge and preparedness about CVD and stroke. The intervention involved (a) distribution of a customized multi-component CVD and stroke related educational and skill development package to 388 "ambassadors" for all participating churches, (b) AHA staff coordinated educational sessions for the ambassadors and (c) 211 Ambassadors coordinating the conduct of at least one CVD educational activities in their churches. In May 2006, a written survey was distributed to 211 ambassadors affiliated with the Heritage affiliate of AHA, which covers New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island and New York City, to: (a) assess the intervention's effect, and (b) plan and implement a targeted forward intervention approach based on findings. Survey questions addressed regular exercise, healthy eating, disease knowledge, and warning signs and ability to perform CPR.
