                          AMERICAN HEART MONTH

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind every American 
that February is Heart Month.
  According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the 
most common form of mortality among both men and women. In fact, one 
out of every four deaths in this country is cardiac-related. And yet 
many of these deaths are preventable.
  Small changes in diet and exercise can have an enormous and positive 
impact on your heart health and lifespan. We must not forget America's 
amazing medical researchers and practitioners who are also doing their 
part by pioneering innovative treatments that save lives every day.
  So, please remember to love your heart this Valentine's Day, and 
every day.
