There is much to be concerned about heart health, and this was the reason why the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute took action against a disease that was claiming the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year – a disease the women weren’t paying attention to – and founded the National Wear Red Day in 2003.
The hard facts: heart diseases are the number one cause of death for men and women, and every 34 seconds someone may experience a heart attack. Moreover, 40-percent of heart attacks are fatal.
