Heart Health Month: Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women in North Carolina, and Black women are disproportionately impacted. The latest NCDHHS Health Disparities Analysis Report shows higher rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes among Black women in North Carolina —conditions that often occur together and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
The good news? Prevention works. Nearly 75% of heart disease cases are preventable, and early screening and support can make a powerful difference.
That’s why NCDHHS partners with NC WISEWOMAN and the NC Minority Diabetes Prevention Program (NC MDPP) to offer free screenings, lifestyle coaching, and culturally responsive support for women ages 35–64 who meet eligibility criteria.
Knowing your numbers—blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and BMI—is an important first step toward protecting your heart and your future.

Mes de la salud cardíaca: Las enfermedades cardíacas siguen siendo la principal causa de muerte entre las mujeres en Carolina del Norte, y las mujeres negras se ven afectadas de manera desproporcionada. El último Informe de análisis de disparidades de salud de NCDHHS muestra tasas más altas de enfermedades cardíacas, presión arterial alta y diabetes entre las mujeres negras en Carolina del Norte, afecciones que a menudo ocurren juntas y aumentan el riesgo de ataque cardíaco y accidente cerebrovascular.
La buena noticia. La prevención funciona. Casi el 75% de los casos de cardiopatías se pueden prevenir, y la detección y el apoyo temprano pueden marcar una gran diferencia.
Es por lo que NCDHHS colabora con NC WISEWOMAN y el Programa de Prevención de Diabetes de Minorías de NC (NC MDPP) para ofrecer exámenes de detección gratuitos, asesoramiento sobre el estilo de vida y apoyo culturalmente receptivo para mujeres de 35 a 64 años que cumplen con los criterios de elegibilidad.
Conocer tus números (presión arterial, azúcar en la sangre, colesterol e índice de masa corporal) es un primer paso importante para proteger tu corazón y tu futuro.
