Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women worldwide. Yet the general public and even medical practitioners still believe it’s not common in women.
The result: women remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. It’s hardly surprising that 50% of women who have heart attacks weren’t even aware they had risk factors the whole time.
From an anatomical perspective, women are more prone to fatal heart attacks, but that’s not all. Lifestyle choices, mental health, menopause and even pregnancy - all these factors can make you more prone to heart disease.
How do you know you need to be screened for heart disease? What steps can you take to protect your heart? In this episode, I talk about the heart disease crisis women are facing and how we can combat it.
Women are often misdiagnosed and undertreated due to the misconceptions that heart disease is uncommon in women. -Dr. Deepa Grandon
