Know the truth about cardiovascular disease in women.


February Is Heart Month - Learn how you can protect the hearts you love!
Theresa TC,

Cardiovascular disease kills more women than all cancers, accidents and diabetes combined. That's one mom, one friend, one sister or one wife…every 80 seconds.

Don't let another Heart Month slip past without learning your own risk of heart disease – and the symptoms of a heart attack. It can save your life!
Know the Facts
Friends Of TC Eckstein,
we're all that type of person

Women who put the needs of others first can ignore their own obvious symptoms – until they no longer can. Just a Little Heart Attack, starring Elizabeth Banks, encourages women to put their heart health first. WATCH VIDEO
Heart disease impacts us all in some way
Heart disease is the cause of 1 in 3 deaths among women each year

45% of women (age 20+) live with some form of cardiovascular disease

Hispanic women are likely to develop heart disease 10 years earlier than non-Hispanics
Know your own risk by learning the "Big 5"
Blood Pressure
Total Cholesterol
HDL (good) Cholesterol
Blood Sugar
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Heart disease strikes more women than men, causing more than 1,000 deaths each day – and impacting nearly every family in some way. Ask your doctor about your "Big 5" numbers this month. And let us know you've taken action for your own health by posting a picture of you wearing red on our Facebook page with the hashtag #GoRedforWomen.
