Do you know the #1 cause of death of women?  Turns out that it’s not breast cancer—that’s just the disease that receives the most publicity.  I, too, was surprised when I first heard that the #1 killer is heart failure.  I first heard this at a heart failure conference last year; it wasn’t until today that I saw the first sign of public awareness.  On my drive up US-101 towards San Francisco today, I was delighted to see a billboard making this point loud and clear, and directing drivers to the site foryourheart.com.  This Abbott-sponsored site lays out the facts in one page and provides readers with Personal Stories, Symptoms, Risk Factors, and other Resources.
