This program is a process in which we can close the gap from what we know in secondary prevention, and what we do when we take care of our patients. Dr. Sid Smith, Chief Science Officer of the American Heart Association, spoke about the treatment gap in his Presidential Address during the American Heart Association’s 1995 Scientific Sessions. And at the November 2000 Scientific Sessions, American Heart Association president, Dr. Rose Marie Robertson not only restated that we have a treatment gap, but that we now have a solution to the gap: implementation of Get With The Guidelines.
