Heart Disease in Women: The Deadly Crisis No-One Talks About
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in women globally. It is responsible for 1 in 3 female deaths, or 1 female death every minute.
But, no one talks about it.
We delve into what makes heart disease in women unique, why it is underdiagnosed and undertreated, and what we can all do to help improve heart health in women.
Joining us is Ritu Thamman, MD, a Cardiologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, a Fellow and member of the Women in Cardiology Leadership Council for the American College of Cardiology, and a senior collaborator with the American Heart Association.
