Cardiovascular diseases cause one in three women’s deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute. In fact, more women than men die every year from heart disease and stroke. Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association’s national movement to end cardiovascular disease in women through education, advocacy and swifter action for women’s heart health.
