American Heart Association Go Red For Women Luncheon

Eli Escobar interviewed Mrs. Nancy Trennel, Chair for the Northwest Harris County Go Red For Women Luncheon. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the No. 1 killer of women. It claims more women’s lives  than all forms of cancer combined. Losing one woman to cardiovascular disease is one  too many.  Women, especially Black and Hispanic women, are disproportionately impacted by  heart disease and stroke and research shows heart attacks are on the rise in younger  women. Yet younger generations of women, Gen Z and Millennials, are less likely to be  aware of their greatest health threat, including knowing the warning signs of heart  attacks and strokes. That’s why it’s important for all women to take charge of their  heart health and encourage others to do the same. Losing even one woman to  cardiovascular disease is too many.  Awareness is critical. All women need to know that cardiovascular disease is the  No. 1 killer of women.  “Know Your Numbers” – the key personal health numbers that help determine  risk for heart disease: total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body  mass index.   Don't miss the Go Red For Women Luncheon on April 22, 2022 to help raise awareness.   To donate or buy your tickets visit: heart.org.
