YOU’VE ALWAYS HAD A HEART FOR OTHERS. Now it’s time to look out for yours.

You can’t be a caregiver without taking care of yourself. Especially when it comes to heart disease, the leading cause of death for women in America today. In fact, heart disease causes 1 of 2 deaths in women each year, surpassing the impact of breast cancer, which claims 1 in every 27. Perhaps it’s because not enough women know the impact of their risk factors, like diabetes, smoking, cholesterol, weight, blood pressure and ethnicity. As a result, too many cases go undiagnosed. So what’s a woman to do? For starters, take some time for yourself and call the Indiana Heart Institute at St.Vincent. You’ll learn that as women approach menopause, their risk of heart disease rises and keeps rising with age. And that after menopause, it’s women—not men—who die more frequently from heart attacks. To ask any question about your heart’s health, call the Indiana Heart Institute at 317-338-CARE (2273). When you call, ask for a copy of our latest free heart attack video, Heartline 2001. It’s a call for your life.
