Go Red for Women Day serves to raise awareness for heart attack and stroke among women.
According to the American Heart Association, more women than men die from cardiovascular disease each year.
It’s estimated one in three women will die due to complications with heart disease or stroke.
“Every day in my clinic I see women who suffer from heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, all sort of different conditions that affect the heart,” said Dr. Katie Benziger, a cardiologist with Essentia Health in Duluth.
