According to the CDC, Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the United States. In 2002, 696,947 people died of heart disease (51% of them women). This was 29% of all U.S. deaths. The age-adjusted death rate was 241 per 100,000 population.
As you can tell there are many people out there who are suffering with heart disease. A great way to help those with heart disease is to simply encourage and show your support for them. A nice way to do this and also to spread awareness is with awareness lapel pins. The colors for heart disease awareness are navy blue and red. These are nice looking ribbon pins that show your support for those with heart disease. So have a heart and show your support.
