The American Heart Association estimates that cardiovascular disease kills more than 480,000 women in America each year. Cardiovascular disease also claims more lives than the next four most common causes of death combined, and coronary heart disease is the No. 1 single killer of women over the age of 25. Approximately every 35 seconds, someone in America will die of a coronary event.
