Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. If you are in your 40s, or 30s, or even 20s, you can be at risk for heart disease. The good news is you have the power to protect your heart and lower your risk.

Watch SherWanda Knight share her firsthand experience about preeclampsia and encourage other women to learn more about their own heart health. This video is by The Heart Truth® - a program sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our goal is to raise awareness about heart disease in women - the risks, the causes, and the ways women can keep their hearts healthy.
