Women
& Cardiovascular Disease
- June 18, 2008

because they often have different symptoms than men when it comes to
cardiovascular disease.
Preventing
Heart Disease in Women
Approximately one woman
dies every minute from heart disease in this country, and the rate of decline
in heart disease overall has been less prevalent among women.1 Every
year since 1984 more women have died of heart disease than men, yet many women
are still unaware of their biggest health threat.
The National Heart Lung
and Blood Institute's Red Dress/Heart Truth campaign, which began in 2001, and
the American Heart Association's Go Red campaign, which began in 2004, were
both developed to educate and increase women's awareness of heart
disease.
