…for this #1 killer.
Did you know that heart disease kills more women than breast cancer and lung cancer combined? Yes, about one in three women will die from this deadly disease. That’s about one every minute. There are many more facts that show just how deadly this disease is to females yet most people are unaware of them. Sadly, this lack of knowledge is one of the reasons heart disease shortens so many lives.
Hudson Valley Community College is teaming up with The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement. The ultimate goal is to improve research in this area, increase action for a women’s heart health, as well as to increase awareness.
Every day, from now through Friday, Feb. 6, I will post various facts about women and heart disease as well as suggestions for prevention. I hope you keep reading. Prevention starts with knowledge.
