It's known as the silent killer, and tonight, heart health will be the topic of discussion at the Bush Library.

Doctor Nancy Dickey, president of the Texas A&M Health Science Center and vice chancellor for health affairs for The Texas A&M University System, is hosting a lecture on navigating the health care system.

She and Doctor Alan Xenakis, KBTX medical contributor and Texas A&M Health Science Center faculty, will be on hand to answer any questions you might have.

Everything kicks off tonight at 7 p.m. and will be streamed live on our web channel at KBTX.com.

It's all in conjunction with the The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection and First Ladies Red Dress Collection exhibit at the Bush Library.

The Heart Truth is a national awareness campaign for women about heart disease.
