"Go Red for Women" is an ini tiative of the American Heart Association (AHA) designed to shed light on the issue of heart dis ease - which manifests differently and is often misdiagnosed or over looked - in women. Heart disease is the number one~ killer of women and men nationwide, affecting one in three women, according to the AHA. Locally, statistics are equally damning, according to Jeff McPherson, president of the AHA's Triad affiliate. "In 2006, 17,000 people in North Carolina died from cardiac disease," he said. "These people we're talking about are our moth ers, our wives, our friends, our sis ters ... that's why this day is so important." Winston-Salem participated in the event for the first time this year, encouraging its citizens to don red clothing and host special events centered around heart dis ease in women in support of Go Red, which began in 2004. "Forsyth County is the fourth worst in the state as far as heart disease death rates (are con cerned)," commented Sara Fedele, also of the Triad affiliate. "We need to do a lot to change that ."
