The Heart Truth for Women Video

Heart disease is not a statistic. It affects women everywhere regardless of where they live, how much they earn, or what they do. This video is an effective tool for patients, community groups, women's clubs and families seeking to raise awareness of heart disease among women. It shares five "stories from the heart" about how heart disease has changed the lives and outlooks of women. They explain why women should take steps now to protect their heart. The truth is, heart disease doesn't need to be the #1 killer of women.
