Sub-Conditions
Do you know that heart disease is the number one cause of death in women and kills more women than men each year? Since women’s symptoms can be different from men’s, many of us don’t recognize the early signs of heart problems. It’s essential to examine heart and circulatory conditions from a woman’s perspective so that necessary treatment isn’t delayed. In this section, find the latest information on heart disease, blood pressure and circulatory disorders.
