  The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) would like to express its
  gratitude to all of the women whose pictures and stories appear in this handbook.
  They have shared their stories from the heart to help other women understand that
  heart disease is not just a statistic, but a disease that affects the lives of real
  women, of all ages and backgrounds, in every community in our country.  
  We are also pleased to announce that this edition of “The Healthy
  Heart Handbook for Women” marks the 20th anniversary of this
  publication.  Since the first edition rolled off the presses in 1987, 
  this best-selling NHLBI book has reached hundreds of thousands of
  women with a vital, empowering message:  You can take action to
  protect your heart health.  As always, we hope that the stories of
  courage and healing in these pages will continue to inspire readers
  to act to protect their own health and well being.  Thank you!
