    Heart disease remains the number one health threat for women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year—that's more than all forms of cancer combined. The first Friday in February marks National Wear Red Day, when people across the U.S. are encouraged to wear red to raise awareness for women's heart health.

    Tracy Stevens, MD, medical director of Saint Luke’s Muriel I. Kauffman Women’s Heart Center, joined KCTV live from Hy-Vee this National Wear Red Day to discuss the risks women face when it comes to cardiovascular disease.
