MS SC545

Designates February 3, 2012, as American Heart Association "National Wear Red Day" in Mississippi to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease in women

Highlights that cardiovascular disease claims nearly 500,000 American women annually, with approximately 1 in 3 women dying from it compared to 1 in 30 from breast cancer

Notes that 90% of women have one or more risk factors for heart disease, yet only 1 in 5 women recognize it as their greatest health threat

Emphasizes that 80% of cardiac events in women may be prevented through proper diet, exercise, and abstinence from smoking

Encourages all Mississippi citizens to wear red and participate in the "Tell 5 and Save Lives" campaign to spread awareness about women's heart health
