More American women die of heart disease than any other illness, and one out of two women will develop heart and vascular disease during their lifetimes. Two out of every three women have at least one of the risk factors for heart disease:

• Age over 55 years
• Family history of premature heart disease
• Cigarette smoking
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Obesity
• Diabetes
