S6E7: Ladies, Don't Go Breaking Your Hearts!

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States, causing 1 in 4 deaths each year for men and 1 in 5 deaths for women. But it doesn’t affect all women alike, and the warning signs for women aren’t the same in men.

On this episode, Sharp Best Health is joined by Sharon Murnane,  an RN at the Cushman Wellness Center at Sharp Memorial Outpatient Pavilion, to arm you with the facts, resources and dispel some myths surrounding symptoms and risk factors surrounding heart disease in women.

If you experience any of the symptoms mentioned in this episode, it is important to call your doctor, especially if these are new symptoms or if they have become more frequent or severe.
