Cardiovascular disease, once considered a ‘man's disease,’ is the number one killer of women in Canada and worldwide.
Consider:
Women are more likely than men to die of a heart attack or stroke.
Women are ten times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than from any other disease.
Women are six times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than from breast cancer. Cardiovascular disease kills more women 65 years of age and older than all cancers combined.
One in eight women between the ages of 45 and 64 lives with cardiovascular disease.
One in four women over 65 lives with some form of cardiovascular disease
