News: American Heart Association reaches 2010 Goal It was a lofty goal - reduce the number of deaths from coronary heart disease and stroke by 25% before 2010. We've hit the mark for heart disease and are almost there for stroke! Unfortunately, there is much that still needs to be done. Reducing risk factors, especially physical inactivity, obesity and diabetes, is a major challenge. In fact, recent studies from the American Heart Association indicate that women face unique risks for developing heart disease, but you can protect yourself by learning more about how to lower your blood pressure, or reading the latest studies.

Heart Health: Help women live longer, healthier lives The HEART for Women Act was drafted to reduce the devastating effects of cardiovascular disease in women. It calls for widespread access to early detection, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. The American Heart Association believes strongly in this bill. We are urging members of Congress to pass the HEART for Women Act this year and start helping women live longer, healthier lives.
