Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2009 Update

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate trends in women's awareness, knowledge, and perceptions related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) since 1997, when the American Heart Association initiated a national campaign for women. Methods and Results: A nationally representative sample of 1,005 women identified through random digit dialing (mean age 50 years, 71% white) was surveyed in 2006, and results were compared with results of similar surveys conducted in 2003, 2000, and 1997. Awareness, knowledge, and perceptions related to CVD were evaluated using a standardized interviewer-assisted questionnaire. In 2006, awareness of heart disease as the leading cause of death among women was 57%; significantly higher than in prior surveys (p < 0.001). Awareness was lower among black and Hispanic women compared with white women (31% and 29% vs. 68%, p < 0.05), and the racial/ethnic difference has not appreciably changed over time. More than twice as many women felt uninformed about stroke compared to hea...
