Your Heart-Healthy Life Begins Today

Heart disease is the leading killer of American women today. But here’s the good news: by making simple lifestyle changes, you can dramatically lower your risk.

Below, you’ll find heart-healthy tips for women from expert cardiologists at Duke to help protect you from the disease. You can also browse through stories from our “Red-Dress” heart disease survivors, whose experiences prompted them to spread the message of prevention and hope.
