Heart disease is not just a man's disease. Women need to be concerned just as much. Coronary heart disease, which causes heart attack, is the single leading cause of death for American women.

In fact, coronary heart disease, which causes heart attack, is the single leading cause of death for American women. Many women believe that cancer is more of a threat, but they're wrong. Nearly twice as many women in the United States die of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases as from all forms of cancer, including breast cancer.
