Take Heart on Mother’s Day

Does your mom know that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women? Unfortunately, many women don't make the connection between risk factors and their personal risk of developing heart disease. That’s why NHLBI is sponsoring The Heart Truth, a national awareness campaign to give women a personal and urgent wakeup call about their risk of heart disease.

Celebrate this Mother’s Day with your mother, grandmother, aunt, or special woman in your life by sharing the heart healthy gifts below from The Heart Truth and NHLBI.

Give Mom a Special 5th Anniversary Red Dress Pin

Designed to warn women of their #1 health threat, The Heart Truth created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002. The Red Dress reminds women of the need to protect their heart health, and inspires them to take action.

Celebrate 5 years of this landmark heart health awareness movement by wearing a special distinctive 5th anniversary edition of the Red Dress Pin. This exclusively designed pin is encrusted with light-filled, artisan-crafted, fully faceted, sparkling red Swarovski crystals and is a captivating fashion accessory.

Makes a gorgeous, timelessly elegant gift, and is truly a conversation starter with unlimited sparkle.
