The Victoria Declaration on Heart Health, published in 1992, was the first in a series of international heart health declarations CDC collaborated on.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by multiple independent academic sources (NCBI/National Academies Press, AHA Circulation, Journal of Human Hypertension) and an archived CDC history page. Minor nuance: CDC's own timeline suggests its direct collaboration began with the 1995 Catalonia declaration rather than the 1992 Victoria one, but this is consistent with the claim describing Victoria as first in a series CDC collaborated on overall.
