According to the American Heart Association more women die from heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases (CVD) than men, yet
many women do not realize they are at risk. These diseases kill more women each year than the next five causes of death combined.
Stroke is the No. 3 cause of death for American women and is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. Stroke kills more women than men. In
2003, females represented 61 percent of stroke deaths.
Join us at one of the Fall 2009 Los Altos Women and Stroke Lecture Series and learn more about stroke, risk factors specific to women, the
symptoms of stroke, and stroke prevention.
