Cardiovascular disease claims more women's lives than the next six causes of death combined, according to the American Heart Association. More than 500,000 women die each year of cardiovascular disease compared to more than 40,000 deaths from breast cancer. Heart disease can be prevented, detected, and treated by knowing your risk factors and developing a dialogue with your physician. Often, a change in exercise, eating habits and lifestyle can have an impact in preventing and treating heart disease.

Heart Disease & Women - Awareness & Treatment tells the stories of three healthy, active women who survived heart attacks and a stroke. The stories from the women and healthcare professionals show that no one is immune from heart disease. Every person appearing in the production has either saved a life or had their life saved.
