Women's Heart Health at Every Age
Heart disease is not a “man’s disease” – it is the leading cause of death in women in the US. Death from coronary heart disease (CHD) is increasing in women ages 35- to 54, possibly due to the rise of obesity and diabetes. Because of this, women of all ages should remain cognizant of the risk factors and symptoms of heart disease, as well as what they can do to reduce their risk of developing the disease.
