The Heart Truth
  • Heart disease is the number one killer of women.
  • One out of every four women will die from heart disease.
  • More women than men have died every year for the past twenty years from cardiovascular disease.
  • Women may have atypical symptoms and don't recognize they are heart related, commonly delaying medical treatment.
  • In women the first heart attack is more likely to be fatal and 65% of sudden cardiac death in women without previous warning signs.
  • An aggressive strategy of risk factor modification can prevent the majority of heart attacks.
