SPEAK UP. Too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is their No. 1 killer. One in three women dies of this preventable disease – that’s almost one woman every minute. However, research shows that 80 percent of cardiac events in women are linked to poor choices, involving diet, exercise and smoking. That means women can make the right choices to change this statistic.
