Tool to chart your family's heart health

You recognize the family traits—the nose, the eyes—but what about the health problems? Family health history is a powerful screening tool, the U.S. Surgeon General says, and now there’s a new Web program to make it easy for anyone to create a sophisticated family-health portrait. Users can keep updated info to share with the family doctor. Access it at www.hhs.gov/FamilyHistory.
