No. 1 killer of women heart disease is 80 percent preventable

“The most common cause of death from heart disease is actually coronary artery disease,” says Dr. Sindu Koshy, a cardiologist at St. John Providence. “So, that’s plaque that develops in the arteries; that’s heart attacks and sudden cardiac death from that. Those are things we can reduce; plaque is cholesterol and inflammation. So by changing our diet and increasing exercise we reduce those things.”
