(Minneapolis, MN) -- Tomorrow (Fri) people all across Minnesota will be wearing red, in support of the American Heart Association's effort to raise awareness that heart disease is the top killer of women in the U.S. University of Minnesota physician Jennifer Dankle says it's been seen for so long as a men's issue that many women and their doctors don't consider heart disease when health issues emerge. And it's not always older or high-risk women -- Jennifer Thorson of St. Paul was 37 and training for her seond marathon when she was hospitalized. On average, about 14 women in Minnesota die from heart disease and stroke every day.
