It is Women’s Heart Health Week.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, yet many symptoms go unrecognized or dismissed. Awareness helps more women understand their risks and advocate for their health.
Important reminders:
✔️ Women may experience different heart attack symptoms than men
✔️ Fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, and back or jaw pain can all be warning signs
✔️ Managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and stress supports heart health
✔️ Small lifestyle changes can have a big impact
✔️ Research continues to expand the understanding of women’s cardiovascular health
Supporting women’s health means supporting early detection, strong preventive care, and clear access to heart health resources.
