"The ACC's forward-thinking matches Butterfly's disruptive and transformative innovation DNA. It's been 71 years since its founding and the ACC is still setting the pace with the gold standard for heart health care," said Laurent Faracci, Butterfly Network's Chief Executive Officer. "We're thrilled to be working with the ACC to transform cardiovascular care together, especially in the critical area of congestive heart failure, for better care, better outcomes, and lower cost to all constituents."
The American College of Cardiology envisions a world where innovation and knowledge optimize cardiovascular care and outcomes. As the professional home for the entire cardiovascular care team, the mission of the College and its 54,000 members is to transform cardiovascular care and to improve heart health. The ACC bestows credentials upon cardiovascular professionals who meet stringent qualifications and leads in the formation of health policy, standards and guidelines. The College also provides professional medical education, disseminates cardiovascular research through its world-renowned JACC Journals, operates national registries to measure and improve care, and offers cardiovascular accreditation to hospitals and institutions.
