The tendency to develop heart disease can run in the family, passed down through risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar levels and obesity.
Hispanic women face an added challenge, since risk factors for heart disease (the No. 1 killer of all women) are likely to develop 10 years earlier than in non-Hispanic white women.
Now for the good news: Even with a family history of heart disease, you can prevent it through healthy eating habits and frequent physical activity. And you can pass along those habits to the next generation.
The more you know about your family’s health history, the more you can do to reduce your own risk and your family’s risk.

WOMEN GO REDLas enfermedades del corazón en el árbol genealógico significan que hay que iniciar una nueva etapa.
Festeje los 10 años de Go Red For Women de la American Heart
Association® comenzando una tradición familiar saludable.
La tendencia a padecer enfermedades del corazón puede desarrollarse en la familia, y los factores de riesgo pueden pasar de generación en generación, como por ejemplo, presión arterial alta, colesterol elevado, niveles altos de azúcar en sangre y obesidad.
Las mujeres hispanas enfrentan un desafío más, debido a que tienen más probabilidades de desarrollar factores de riesgo relacionados a enfermedades del corazón (la causa de muerte número 1 entre todas las mujeres), 10 años antes que las mujeres blancas no hispanas.
Ahora la buena noticia: aún si usted tiene un historial familiar de enfermedades del corazón, puede prevenirlas a través de hábitos alimenticios saludables y una actividad física frecuente. Y puede transmitir esos hábitos a la siguiente generación.
Cuanto más conozca usted sobre el historial de salud familiar, más podrá hacer para reducir su riesgo personal y el riesgo de su familia.
Comience hoy con estos pasos fáciles:
1. Trace el historial de salud en relación a sus parientes biológicos utilizando este documento como guía.
2. Analice junto a un profesional de la salud qué significa esto, tanto para usted como para su familia.
3. Comience a poner en práctica hábitos de alimentación saludable y la actividad física frecuente con su familia.
