Tanner, P.J. and Hunter in 2009FAST FACTS:
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women age 20 and over, killing approximately one woman every minute.
ONE in THREE American women suffer from heart disease, but only ONE in FIVE believes she is personally at risk, thinking heart disease doesn’t happen to "someone like me."
More women die of cardiovascular disease than the next four causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer.
