H.R. No. 122

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of
	death in the United States, claiming the lives of nearly half a
	million women each year, more than the next five causes of death
	combined and nearly twice as many as all forms of cancer; and
	WHEREAS, While only 13 percent of women consider
	cardiovascular disease their greatest health risk, 53 percent of
	cardiovascular disease deaths occur in females; in addition, nearly
	33,000 more women than men die from stroke each year; and
	WHEREAS, In 2007, the estimated direct and indirect cost of
	treating heart attacks, strokes, and other related illnesses in the
	United States is $432 billion; and
	WHEREAS, In conjunction with the American Heart
	Association's designation of February as American Heart Month, the
	organization's Go Red for Women Day campaign aims to inspire women
	to take charge of their heart health; the event is designed to
	encourage women to increase their awareness of the risk factors for
	coronary disease by using such tools as the American Heart
	Association's Go Red For Women Heart CheckUp and by talking to their
	health care providers; and
	WHEREAS, Go Red for Women is the AHA's national call to help
	women live longer, stronger lives, and by educating and empowering
	them to reduce their risks, it is estimated that thousands of lives
	can be saved each year; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 2, 2007, as Go Red for Women
	Day and encourage all Texans to support this laudable effort by
	wearing the color red in honor of family, friends, and neighbors who
	have fought heart disease.
