Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women living in the United States; this disease claims more female lives than all cancers combined. Additionally, according to the Centers of Disease Control data between the years 1979 and 2006, while cardiac-related mortality among men decreased significantly, only a modest decline was found among women. This disparity is greatest among minority females including Blacks and Hispanics who have an even greater prevalence of CVD and its risk factors.
