# 1 Health Hazard Striking Women &
What to do About It

February is National Heart Month

WHO: Mellanie True Hills, heart disease survivor and author of A Woman’s Guide to Saving Her Own Life: The Heart Program for Health and Longevity

WHAT: Hills provides audiences with the signs of heart disease as well as ways to prevent it

WHEN: February is National Heart Month (American Heart Association Go Red for Women) and Hills is available for interview

( DALLAS ) Heart disease kills more women than men in the U.S. and has for 20 years. How could we possibly lose almost half a million women each year in the U.S. to cardiovascular diseases (heart disease and stroke) and not hear more about it? The American Heart Association also reports that heart disease and stroke account for 40% of women’s deaths.

That’s almost 1,400 women every day—1 every minute—10 times as many as we lose to breast cancer, and 5 times as many as to all cancers combined.  Forty percent of us – 2 of every 5 women – will get, and die from, cardiovascular disease. If you have a family history of heart disease, your risk is even higher.

Mellanie True Hills, author of A Woman’s Guide To Saving Her Own Life:  The Heart Program For Health And Longevity, is a heart disease survivor, having had a close call in emergency heart surgery several years ago. Using her second chance, she coaches individuals to create healthy lifestyles and works with organizations to create healthy, productive workplaces.

Hills can discuss:

  • What a heart attack is and why it is happening at younger ages than ever before
  • Why we lose more women than men to heart attacks
  • Why women are more vulnerable to workplace stress
  • The four main symptoms of a woman’s heart attack & how they differ from men’s
  • What men need to know about protecting their wives from her worst enemy
  • Why you’re still at risk even if you don’t smoke, don’t have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or family history
  • Stroke symptoms
  • An effective health regimen for women and how people can create a plan they can stick to

Hills is the founder and CEO of the American Foundation for Women’s Health, a non-profit organization dedicated to education and awareness about women’s health issues. A Woman’s Guide to Saving Her Own Life is Hills’ story and a workbook designed to guide readers through the process of making permanent and life-saving changes. It is a winner of the Readers Preference Editor's Choice Award for 2005 and was listed in Publisher's Weekly as a nominee for the Quills Award Debut Author of the Year.
