The NIH and AHA Red Dress Campaign publicizes the fact that heart disease is women's greatest health risk. Women are 10 times more likely to die of heart disease or stroke than of breast cancer, and the Red Dress Campaign which has most events scheduled in Heart Month (February) is creating new awareness of this highly important fact.
