Go Red For Women History

In February 2004, the American Heart Association launched Go Red For Women, a nationwide initiative designed to raise women’s awareness of their risk of heart disease, communicate the simplicity of risk reduction and create a compelling call to action that drives women to take control of their health. Go Red For Women provides knowledge and tools to empower women to make positive changes in their lives that may help reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke.

Why Go Red?

 Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women.

1. A woman dies every minute from cardiovascular disease, claiming the lives of over 460,000 women every year.

2. While 1 in 30 American women die of breast cancer, almost 1 in 3 die from cardiovascular disease.

3. 43 million American women are living with cardiovascular disease (CVD).

4. Only 57% of American women recognized that heart disease is their leading cause of death.
