According to Go Red for Women, cardiovascular disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined and yet only 44% of women recognize that cardiovascular disease is their greatest health threat. That is why we are discussing heart health.Dr. Nanette Wenger has been at the forefront of advancing patient care for the last 60-plus years. She was among the first physicians to focus on coronary heart disease in women, and to evaluate the different risk factors, symptoms and conditions for women compared to men. She speaks about the following:What are the risks for and symptoms of heart problems in women?How do heart attacks manifest differently from men vs. women?How does a woman know if she has heart problems?How can a woman keep a healthy heart?What is the current state of healthcare professional awareness of how heart attacks manifest in men vs. women?How to advocate for yourself, especially if you feel as though you aren’t being heard?“It is important to realize this is not a disease of old ladies. This is a disease of young women. It is a disease that can be ameliorated and prevented.” - Dr Nanette WengerResources:American Heart Association’s Presidential AdvisoryRead the Chest Pain GuidelinesCheck out American Heart Association and Go Red for WomenResources and episodes on Breaking TaboosResources and episodes on Pregnancy & MotherhoodResources and episodes on Perimenopause & Menopause If you're passionate about advancing women's health, there are many ways you can support the Fempower Health Podcast.
