Since 2004, the American Heart Association’s signature women's initiative, Go Red for Women, has addressed awareness and clinical care gaps for women’s greatest health threat: cardiovascular disease (CVD). We are prepared to meet the evolving needs of women at every age, stage, and season of their lives, as their trusted, relevant source for credible, equitable health solutions.
Nearly 45% of women ages 20+ are living with some form of
cardiovascular disease.
Less than half of women entering pregnancy in the U.S. have optimal cardiovascular health.
Women experience unique life stages, such as pregnancy and menopause, that can put them at an increased risk for CVD.
