Raising Awareness of CMR During Heart Health Month
February is American Heart Month, sponsored annually by the American Heart Association. In an effort to promote the importance of cardiac health awareness and the value of CMR, SCMR distributed a press release. In it, the benefits of CMR and how it is used is explained and defined. We encourage you to share this with your institution's marketing department so they can promote these valuable messages to their audiences. Next month, SCMR will be participating in Amyloidosis Awareness Month and promoting the use of CMR in an effort to achieve our mission of advancing CMR.
