Crown of the American Heart Association said people perceive cancer as a far more painful disease and cardiovascular disease as something that happens quickly and is easy to fix.

When she talks to groups of women, she said, nine out of 10 respondents say they fear breast cancer the most.

"You have a 1-in-28 chance of dying of breast cancer," Crown tells the women."You have a 1-in-2 chance of dying of cardiovascular disease."

"That," she said, "is what gets people's attention."

Like Morris, Crown knows people have read the heart stories because of the questions she is asked and because they have pointed out A Change of Heart stories.
