Women's Heart Health Day was founded by author, journalist, and heart disease survivor Charlotte Libov to teach women the warning signs of heart disease and how to protect their health.
According to Libov:
Heart disease is the number one killer of American Women.
Every year, an estimated 485,000 American women die of cardiovascular disease (heart disease & stroke), more than twice the number who die of all cancer combined.
An estimated 240,000 women die annually of heart disease, five times the number who die of breast cancer.
Women suffer nearly half (49 percent) of the 480,000 heart disease deaths annually.
More women than men die of heart attacks within the first year of their first heart attack (44 vs. 27 percent).
More women than men will suffer a heart attack within four years after their first heart attack (20 percent vs. 16 percent).
Heart attacks kill nearly 21,000 women under age 65, with 29 percent being under 55.
One in eight women aged 45 and over has had a heart attack.
Black women have a 33 percent higher death rate from coronary heart disease than white women and a 77 percent higher death rate from stroke.
Coronary heart disease is a major stroke risk factor, killing over 87,000 women each year.
An estimated nearly one million Americans are currently living with heart defects. Some defects occur more commonly in women and can remain undetected until well into adulthood, putting their lives at risk.
