Women and the Heart
Women and the Heart focuses on the unique aspects of cardiovascular health in women, who often experience different symptoms and risk factors than men. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, yet it is frequently underdiagnosed. Hormonal changes, especially after menopause, significantly affect heart health. Women may present with atypical symptoms like fatigue, nausea, or jaw pain during a heart attack. Stress, depression, and autoimmune diseases also play a larger role in female heart health. Awareness campaigns and gender-specific research are improving early detection and treatment. Empowering women with knowledge and regular screenings is key to prevention. Understanding these differences leads to better outcomes and targeted care.
