The Heart Truth

The campaign began in March 2001 on recommendation from over seventy experts on the health of women. The research stressed the need to communicate to women about the risk of heart disease, and endorsed The Heart Truth as a means of doing so. ==Logo and marketing==

The logo of the campaign is a red dress. It came into being as a way to attract attention to The Heart Truth, and eliminate perceptions that heart disease is an issue only for men. The dress reminds women to focus on their "outerselves", as well as their "innerselves", especially heart health. The campaign has also conjured a National Wear Red Day, meant to take place on the first Friday of February annually. ==Events==

The Heart Truth has joined with the United States Federal Government and fashion industries, in an attempt to appeal to female audiences. She promotes the campaign through various media interviews as well. In February 2007, The Heart Truth moved that exhibit to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. There, the exhibit was opened by former First Lady Nancy Reagan along with television personality Larry King and Laura Bush. ==Notable participants==
