Here are some pictures of Carrie Loveless' lecture on women's heart attack symptoms and prevention measures.  The group that attended was very enthusiastic and took away a lot of information.  For those of you who could not make it, take a look at this important information that she provided.

As Carrie reminded us, heart disease can run in families.  Tracing the cardiovascular diseases your parents, grandparents and other blood relatives have suffered can help your doctor predict heart illnesses you might be susceptible to and take action to keep you healthy.  This link http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/ can further help you assess your "Family Health Portrait".

*Just as a reminder the blood test Carrie mentioned is the C-reactive protein test.
