The month of February is about fighting heart disease in women. This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Go Red For Women” with the American Heart Association. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women – mothers, sisters, daughters, friends – and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined.

Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease and the gap between men and women’s survival continues to widen.
While one in 31 American women dies from breast cancer each year, heart disease causes one in three deaths each year.
