Did you know?
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women.
- About 600,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that’s 1 in every 4 deaths.
- 1 in 3 women die of heart disease and stroke.
- Every year about 720,000 Americans have a heart attack.

- Watch your weight.
- Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke.
