Which organization works to increase public and medical awareness of cardiovascular diseases and stroke?

• A. American Red Cross
• B. American Heart Association
• C. OSHA
• D. Cushing's syndrome

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is which organization focuses on increasing public and medical awareness of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The American Heart Association fits this role precisely by leading public education campaigns, supporting cardiovascular research, and providing resources for both patients and clinicians. In contrast, the American Red Cross is primarily focused on disaster relief and blood donation, OSHA handles workplace safety, and Cushing's syndrome is a medical condition rather than an organization. So, the organization best aligned with raising awareness of cardiovascular diseases and stroke is the American Heart Association.
