Do you know what causes heart disease in women? What about women’s survival rate? Or whether women of all ethnicities share the same risk?
The fact is, heart disease is the number one killer of women, causing one in three deaths each year. That’s approximately one woman every minute! Heart disease doesn’t affect all women in the same way, and the warning signs for women aren’t the same for men. Heart disease is also the leading cause of death for men of most racial/ethnic groups, killing nearly one in four in the U.S. What’s more, these facts only begin to scratch the surface of the devastating effects of heart disease.
Come and hear Christi Eberhardt’s firsthand encounter with heart disease and her incredible survival story, along with the key components that have given her a second chance in life. You’ll also learn what you can do in the way of self-care and how Â鶹ÊÓƵ is responding to the need for increased awareness and CPR training.
