Medvantx Partners with the American Heart Association 

We are thrilled to announce Medvantx Partners with the American Heart Association in 2025 to support their mission of fighting heart disease and stroke. We are proud to share that our very own Prasanna Parthasarathy has joined the San Diego AHA board. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to advancing patient access and well-being. 

Kickoff on Wear Red Day 

Our year-long initiative kicks off on Friday, February 7th, with Wear Red Day. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease, the #1 killer of women. We encourage everyone to wear red to show their support and help spread the word about the importance of heart health. 

Fundraising and Participation 

Throughout the year, Medvantx will be actively fundraising and participating in various heart health activities. We will be offering CPR training sessions to equip our team with life-saving skills and participating in Heart Walks across multiple locations later in the year. Medvantx will be matching all fundraising efforts, doubling the impact of our contributions! 

Heart Disease Facts and Figures

  • Coronary heart disease (CHD) was the leading cause of deaths attributable to CVD in the United States, causing 375,476 deaths in 2024. 
  • Approximately every 40 seconds, someone in the United States will have a myocardial infarction. 
  • Every year, about 805,000 people in the United States have a heart attack, with 605,000 being a first heart attack and 200,000 happening to people who have already had a heart attack.

Why We Wear Red 

Wearing red on Wear Red Day is a powerful symbol of our commitment to raising awareness about heart disease, particularly its impact on women. By wearing red, we stand in solidarity with those affected by heart disease and help to spread the message that heart health is a priority for everyone.
