Kudos to Zainab Mahmoud, MD, WashU Medicine Cardiovascular Division, on receiving the inaugural American Heart Association Jac.

The Jack Sarver Prize in Clinical Science and the Jack Sarver Prize in Basic Science were established through a gift to the American Heart Association in honor of Jack Sarver who died of heart disease in 1979 at the age of 58. The Sarver family’s struggle against heart disease began in the paternal family line generations before his birth. Childhood memories of the young father’s struggle have motivated the family to “end the heritage of heart disease."
