22. Welcome
23. A National Campaign To help women understand their risk of heart disease and take action
Especially women ages 40 to 60
Partnership of many groups
Today’s Session Will Cover
Why women need to know about heart disease
What heart disease is
Risk factors
Talking to your doctor
Taking action
Surviving a heart attack
Resources
Getting on the road to heart health
24. The Heart Truth Heart disease is the #1 killer of American women—no matter what their race or ethnicity
Heart disease kills 1 of every 3 American women
Heart disease can permanently damage your heart—and your life
Heart disease is a “now” problem
“Later” may be too late
25. What Is Heart Disease? Coronary heart disease—affects arteries of the heart
Heart doesn’t get enough nutrient-rich blood
Chronic—develops over years
Atherosclerosis—arteries harden as cholesterol, fat, and other substances build up in artery walls
Blockage can result in heart attack
26. No Quick Fix Worsens if not treated—leads to disability or death
Not “fixed” by surgery or procedures, such as bypass and angioplasty
Good News
Heart disease can be prevented or controlled
Treatment includes lifestyle changes and, if needed, medication
27. Why Me? Why Now? Risk rises ages 40–60
Estrogen level drops during menopause
Risk factors
Smoking
High blood pressure
High blood cholesterol
Overweight/obesity
Physical inactivity
Diabetes
Family history of early heart disease
Age (55 and older for women)
28. Heart Disease Risk Factors Multiply their effects
Same lifestyle steps prevent/control many of the risk factors
Key Tests For Heart Disease Risk
Blood pressure
Blood cholesterol
Fasting plasma glucose (diabetes test)
Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference
Electrocardiogram
Stress test
29. Have A Heart-To-Heart Ask your doctor about your risk of heart disease
Draw up a list of questions before your visit
Write down or tape record what the doctor says
Tell your doctor your lifestyle behaviors, such as smoking or being physically inactive
Tell your doctor any symptoms you feel
30. Why Women Don’t Take Action Against Heart Disease They don’t put their health as a top priority
They think they’re not old enough to be at risk
They feel too busy to make changes in their lives
They’re already feeling stressed
They’re tired
31. How To Lower Heart Disease Risk Begin today
Be physically active—30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on most days of the week
Follow a healthy eating plan
Low in saturated fat and cholesterol and moderate in total fat
Limit salt and sodium
If you drink alcoholic beverages, have no more than one per day
Maintain a healthy weight
Balance calories taken in with those used up in physical activity
Stop smoking
Manage diabetes
Take medication, if prescribed
32. Heart Attack Warning Signs Chest discomfort
Usually in the center of the chest
Lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back
Can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body, including pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach
Shortness of breath
Other symptoms, such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or light-headedness
33. To Survive a Heart Attack Call 9-1-1 within minutes—5 minutes at most
Emergency medical personnel will begin treatment at once
Don’t drive yourself to the hospital
Uncertainty is normal—don’t be embarrassed by a false alarm
Plan ahead
Learn the warning signs

36. How To Keep Going View changes as new lifestyle, not quick fixes
Set realistic goals
Buddy up
Don’t worry about a slip
Reward your success
Be your own advocate—ask questions and seek information
