“The majority of women still don’t think
that they personally are at risk,” says Tracy
Stevens, M.D., a physician spokeswoman for
the American Heart Association’s Go Red for
Women movement.
But as these four women will tell you, if it can
happen to them, it can happen to you. So pull up a
seat, read their stories and then pass on the message to your girlfriends.

S
ometimes a tête-à-tête with a
close girlfriend is all it takes
for you to move on from that
unhealthy relationship, to get
to the bottom of your blind-date
bashfulness, to decide that, no,
your mother-in-law doesn’t
have a right to comment on your cleaning habits.
If each of the following women could sit you
down for chat, they’d discuss protecting your
heart, too, but from a different threat—heart
disease. That’s because they know firsthand the
dangers of the leading cause of death for women.
