The resolution highlights the critical issue of cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death among women, surpassing all forms of cancer combined. It emphasizes that a significant percentage of women are unaware of this health threat, with nearly 45% of women aged 20 and older living with some form of cardiovascular disease. The resolution also points out the alarming statistics regarding maternal health, noting that cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of maternal death in the United States and that various pregnancy-related health issues can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life.

In response to these concerns, the resolution calls for increased awareness and education about cardiovascular health, particularly through lifestyle changes and preventive measures. It acknowledges the disparities in clinical research, where women are underrepresented, and the need for better training in emergency response, such as CPR, to ensure women receive timely assistance. To promote awareness, the resolution declares February 2, 2024, as National Wear Red Day in Washington State, in partnership with the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement, which aims to address the gaps in awareness and care for women's cardiovascular health.
