Course overview
Heart disease is a leading cause of death in woman in the United States. Women are more likely to die from a heart attack than from breast cancer.

Healthy lifestyle choices are essential to the prevention of heart disease, and topics related to diet, exercise, weight control, and smoking cessation are discussed. No Test Required!
