14	14	1 A HOUSE RESOLUTION recognizing women's heart
15	15	2 health research and supporting awareness for cardiovascular
16	16	3 disease.
17	17	4 Whereas, Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of
18	18	5 death in women, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer
19	19	6 combined and yet only 44 percent of women recognize that
20	20	7 cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat;
21	21	8 Whereas, Among women 20 years and older, nearly 45
22	22	20253005
23	23	HR 1512/DI 140 2025 2
24	24	1 percent are living with some form of cardiovascular disease
25	25	2 and less than half of women entering pregnancy in the United
26	26	3 States have optimal cardiovascular health;
27	27	4 Whereas, Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of
28	28	5 maternal death in the U.S. meaning heart disease is the number
29	29	6 one killer of new mothers;
30	30	7 Whereas, Overall, 10 to 20 percent of women will have a
31	31	8 health issue during pregnancy, and high blood pressure,
32	32	9 preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes during pregnancy
33	33	10 greatly increase a women's risk for developing cardiovascular
34	34	11 disease later in life;
35	35	12 Whereas, Most cardiac and stroke events can be prevented
36	36	13 through education and lifestyle changes, such as increasing
37	37	14 physical activity, eating smart, and managing blood pressure;
38	38	15 Whereas, In 2020, stroke caused the deaths of 90,627
39	39	16 women, approximately 56.5 percent of total stroke deaths;
40	40	17 Whereas, Women are often less likely to receive bystander
41	41	18 CPR because rescuers often fear accusations of inappropriate
42	42	19 touching, sexual assault, or injuring the victim;
43	43	20 Whereas, There are significant biological differences
44	44	21 between men and women, and clinical trials have not always
45	45	22 adequately enrolled women or analyzed sex-specific differences
46	46	23 in the data, and, as of 2020, only 38 percent of cardiovascular
47	47	24 clinical research trial participants are women; and
48	48	25 Whereas, Since 2004, the American Heart Association's "Go
49	49	26 Red for Women" movement has addressed the awareness and
50	50	27 clinical care gaps of women's greatest health threat,
51	51	28 cardiovascular disease, and, on the cusp of the American Heart
52	52	29 Association's 100th anniversary, continues to make bold moves
53	53	30 to save lives and pioneer scientific discoveries: Therefore,
54	54	31 Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the
55	55	32 General Assembly of the State of Indiana:
56	56	33 SECTION 1. That the Indiana House of Representatives
57	57	20253005
58	58	HR 1512/DI 140 2025 3
59	59	1 recognizes February as American Heart Month in Indiana.
60	60	2 SECTION 2. That the Indiana House of Representatives
61	61	3 urges all Hoosiers to raise awareness about cardiovascular
62	62	4 disease, the leading cause of death in women, and show their
63	63	5 support for women and the fight against heart disease by
64	64	6 wearing the color red on February 6, 2025.
65	65	7 SECTION 3. That the Indiana House of Representatives
66	66	8 acknowledges that increasing awareness, speaking out about
67	67	9 heart disease, and empowering women to reduce their risk for
68	68	10 cardiovascular disease can save thousands of lives each year.
