Helping To Keep The Beat - heart disease leading cause of death in women - Brief Article

Nation's Business, March, 1999

You may think of heart disease as a male problem, but it is the leading cause of death in American women.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, has a way for employers to get that message across to female workers, It's a revised edition of the 100-page Healthy Heart Handbook for Women, with the latest information on preventing heart attacks, high blood pressure, and strokes.

A printed copy can be ordered for $5.50 through the NHLBI Information Center, P.O. Box 30105, Bethesda, Md. 20825-0105. Or you can download a free copy from the institute's World Wide Web site, at www.nhlbi.nih.gov.
