Heart Health

Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. However, 80 percent of heart disease is preventable if you quit or avoid smoking, watch your weight, maintain a heart healthy diet and exercise regularly.

Here are some facts you should know about women and heart disease:

• Heart disease kills almost twice as many women as all cancers combined, including breast cancer.
• Heart disease claims the lives of 65,000 more women than men each year.
• Heart disease can start to develop even in your 20s or 30s.
• From 1989 to 1996, sudden cardiac death climbed 31 percent among women ages 15 to 34.
