- [Rita] Red socks? What's up with the socks?
- It's to show that I'm stepping together
with the American Heart Association
movement to rise above heart failure, Mom.
We've been taking small steps
to manage your condition since you were diagnosed,
like eating less salt, watching your weight,
looking out for any swelling around your feet or ankles.
- Oh I know.
We're asking America to join us.
Raise awareness about heart failure.
It takes six me-made steps together.
- [Queen Latifa] Of course,
not everyone is not as knowing as my mom.
This is a red alert to get the word out to many people
who are in the dark.
Remember how shocked you were
when you first found out about your heart failure?
- Oh yes. I had no clue what was wrong with me.
I didn't know the symptoms.
- Exactly mom.
Swollen feet, shortness of breath,
tiredness, rapid heartbeat
If you or a loved one experience
any of these symptoms,
please see a doctor.
It's time to make some noise
about this silent and often forgotten epidemic.
Let's step up to HF.
Here's how: take a red step
toward a healthier heart.

Share your inspiration.
Together, we can rise above heart failure.
