“For me it is an honor to help this cause with such a noble goal, not only for us women, but for all men, sons and daughters of this country,” said Viviane Senna, to officially declare the opening of the campaign.

About the invitation to be godmother of the initiative, Viviane said that expanding knowledge is one of the forms of action on heart problems. “I am a typical woman’s example is the risk framework, and I think I can do something for other women who face the same factor without knowing, for lack of information, knowledge and awareness. To change the world, you need to start with something that is within our reach, so I accepted the invitation with great care and responsibility, “he explained.

Risk factors also began to exist on it, such as smoking, birth control pills, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, cholesterol , diabetes and exercise without accompaniment. and so we often come across with coronary artery disease, which often leads to heart attack, “respect.

According to Lopes, the program is guided by three basic pillars: prevention, diagnosis and guidance. “This third element explains how to maintain a healthy, fight obesity, properly treat metabolic studies, such as glucose, cholesterol and uric acid, and discuss hormone replacement when a woman reaches menopause.”
