"Since Sunday is Mother&amp;#039;s Day, and raising awareness of heart disease in women is a cause that we here at Woman&amp;#039;s Day have long been dedicated to, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone to talk to their doctors about their own personal risk of heart disease. And encourage your moms to do the same! Heart disease is still the number one killer of women, but with the right screenings and protective steps (exercise at least 30 minutes daily, eat a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables and whole grains) \u2014 dying from heart disease is largely preventable. A crucial step is knowing your own personal risk and working with your doctor to manage it. (If you have a family history of heart disease, for example, your doctor may monitor you for signs of it more closely.) But don&amp;#039;t assume that your doctor is aware of everything: Be sure to bring it up at your next checkup. To help remind your mom to get her heart health checkup, you can send her an e-card from the American Heart Association&amp;#039;s Go Red For Women &amp;quot;Thank a Mom Movement&amp;quot; on the Macy&amp;#039;s facebook page (click here). And read the amazing stories of how four women saved their own hearts here. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
