American Heart Association

Do you know the warning symptoms of a heart attack or stroke?  Do you know your heart score?  If your answers are NO, then you need to educate yourself on the #1 deadly killer of women in the United States.

Heart Disease can affect even the healthiest person by striking when they least expect it.  Heart Disease knows no boundaries nor does it pick and chose its victims.  The American Heart Association (AHA) is here to help however!  To live a healthy life, free of cardiovascular disease and stroke is their sole purpose since more than 1.5 million heart attacks occur each year in the United States.  500,000 of those are women who have succombed to their death.

The Go Red For Women (GRFW) movement was established in 2004 by the AHA in order to help women regain their power to take charge of their heart health.  It encourages the awareness of the issue of women and heart disease.  It is an iniative that allows women to band together in an effort to wipe out heart disease for good.  The red dress symbol has become the national symbol for GRFW, women and heart disease.

Please take control of your own health by learning the basics of this #1 killer of women.  Don't allow yourself to become one of their statistics.  Your family and friends are counting on you!
