February 3, 2011- Heart disease is still the number one killer of women, taking the life of one out of every three women each year. This means women just like you - mothers, sisters, friends - are dying at the rate of one per minute because they don’t know that heart disease kills.

This year, the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement is encouraging everyone to Make It Their Mission to stop this number one killer by telling 5 women they love about the risk of heart disease. The AHA is turning to all of us to spread the truth about these staggering statistics: 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease and 80 percent of cardiac events in women may be prevented.

To help get the conversation started, in the Macy's Cellar Kitchen, celebrity Chef Michelle Bernstein demos a heart healthy recipe you can share with special women in your lives and start the conversation about personal heart health. Joining Chef Bernstein is Dr. Malissa Wood a nationally recognized expert in cardiovascular diseases in women.
