Most people do not realize it: heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States.
The Centers for Disease Control follow each year and said that although heart disease is considered a male disease, about the same number of women and men die each year from heart problems in the United States.
The Adventist Institute of Heart and Vascular Disease is the main supporter of the Faithful Heart Luncheon scheduled for February 1, organized to inform women about murder and heart health.
The institute currently offers medical cardiology, invasive and interventional services, vascular and cardiothoracic surgery, as well as cardiac diagnostics and imaging.

Bahia will discuss heart attacks and heart disease of women and their differences from men.
Harper will conclude the discussion by explaining how to prevent heart disease by monitoring risk factors including blood pressure, blood sugar and a healthy lifestyle.
There will also be information stands on nutrition, institute and rehabilitation.
Cardiovascular disease in the United States kills about one woman every 80 seconds, but 80 percent of cardiac events could be prevented through education and lifestyle changes, according to the institute.
