"Heart disease can be prevented. In fact, research shows that 80 percent of cardiac events in women are linked to poor choices, involving diet, exercise and smoking. Women must make the right choices to change this statistic,"  said Nieca Goldberg, M.D., Go Red For Women spokesperson and medical director of New York University's Women's Heart Center.  "We must speak up and spread the word in order to motivate women to make lifesaving and heart-healthy choices."
