Assessing Risks

You are your own best advocate!  By making yourself more aware of your coronary heart disease risks, you can prevent becoming a heart disease statistic.  Traditionally, women concern themselves so much with the health of their husbands, children and families, that they rarely make their own health a priority. 

It is time to change tradition!

Men are not the only ones dying of heart disease.  In fact, heart disease is the number one cause of death among women in the United States.  One in three women will die from heart disease or stroke, while only one in eight will die from breast cancer.

The Good News ... You can take steps to reduce your risk. 

Become informed by assessing your risk, educating yourself on heart disease, statistics, risk factors, prevention, and signs and symptoms.
