Women's Cardiac Health

Since 1984, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease each year. For every woman dying from breast cancer, twelve women die from cardiovascular disease. Only 8% of women know that cardiovascular disease is their greatest risk. It is the #1 killer of women, regardless of race or ethnicity. It also strikes at younger ages than most people think, and the risk increases in middle age. About two thirds of women who have heart attacks never fully recover.

The best tool to manage cardiovascular disease is knowledge, and Associated Cardiologists is determined to increase public awareness by educating men and women on risks and lifestyles affecting heart health.
