About Chart Your Heart
First Coast News and Bug Out are joining together to help you “Chart Your Heart”. Cardiovascular disease is public enemy No. 1, claiming the lives of more women than the next five causes of death combined — almost twice as many as all forms of cancer. Fortunately, you can do many things to fight cardiovascular diseases.

By learning all you can about these serious health threats, you can work to reduce your risks. More research needs to be done on heart disease and stroke in women, but plenty of life-enhancing information already exists.

Educate yourself and your loved ones about heart disease and stroke. Then do something about it.
