Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. More than one-fourth of all deaths among U.S. women in 2006 were due to heart disease, which usually occurs about 10 years later in life in women than in men. 

Heart disease mortality differs substantially among women of different races, and almost two-thirds of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms.
