What Women in Midlife Need To Know About Heart Disease

Heart Health Month may be over (February), but heart disease can occur any month or day of the year. And the sad reality is that women are more likely to die from a heart attack then men. Heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year. That’s more than all cancers combined and yet heart disease is still considered a “men’s” disease.

What Women Need to Know About Heart Disease

Fortunately, we can change that because 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action. Our symptoms are very different and often go undetected. I recently interviewed Dr. Felice Gersh, an award-winning OB/GYN specializing in all aspects of women’s health on my podcast Beauty is a Bitch!
