AMARILLO,TEXAS -- Over 500 people packed the Heritage room in the Civic Center Wednesday with one thing in mind, the color red. The American Heart Association put on an awareness event for all women. Three Cardiologist answered participants questions and there were screenings to check blood pressure and cholesterol. They even held a luncheon with speakers to make folks more aware. " The Go Red for Women movement is something we do all year long, information is available on our website www.goredforwomen.org, you can go online and see the 7 simple things you can do to increase your heart health, and you can also take a risk assessment and find out where your cardio vascular risk is right now at this time." said Krista Markham from the Heart Association.
