Why Do Women Need To Know About Heart Disease?

When it comes to women and heart disease, the numbers speak for themselves:

The Number One killer of women, heart disease afflicts more women than men.
One out of every three female adults has some form of cardiovascular disease: coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
Annually cardiovascular disease claims the lives of over 500,000 women. It affects nearly forty percent of black women and Caucasian women, as well as more than 32 percent of Latinas.
Many cases of cardiovascular disease are PREVENTABLE with heart healthy behavior, and appropriate medical care, when needed!
