The mission of every Infectious Awareables tie is to generate interest, discussion, even excitement about serious public health issues such as this silk Heart Health tie in pink.
Believing that humor can be a powerful educational tool, Infectious Awareables neckties take an atypical, slightly irreverent approach to some very serious subjects.
Shop and take pride in knowing that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to disease research/education.

HEART HEALTH. A well-conditioned heart requires healthy striated muscle served by an arterial system uncompromised by build up of lumen-reducing plaque (atherosclerosis). This exciting design graphically depicts all the above, featuring healthy muscle accented by a succession of arterial conditions, from clear to clogged. Clear is good; clogged is NOT! Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality and can be greatly mitigated by life style choices. The American Heart Association and the World Health Organization can provide valuable information on prevention and treatment of heart disease.
A back-of-tie "Awareness Note" and a source citation are incorporated in the pattern design, which reads:
