Talk About Wearing Red and Saving Lives During American Heart Month

February is American Heart Month and Go Red For Women asks women to uncover the truth that heart disease can kill you or a woman you love – and raise awareness of the number one killer of women in the United States.

To help you share the life-saving message designer Nick Verreos and cardiologist Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum share advice on two integral aspects of the movement.

Some startling facts about women and heart disease:

• More women die of heart disease than all forms of cancer combined.


• Since heart disease is silent, hidden and misunderstood, some 8 million women in the U.S. are living with heart disease – yet only one in six American women believes that heart disease is her greatest health threat.


• Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.
