Go Red For Women is a national movement by the American Heart
Association designed to raise awareness of heart disease among women.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, and kills more women than men
each year. Unfortunately, many women still consider it a "man's
disease" and are not aware of their risk.
· Heart disease and stroke are the #1 and #3 killers of women over age 25
· One in 2.6 women die of cardiovascular disease
· One in three women currently suffers some form of cardiovascular disease
