š In support of #WomensHealthWeek, we sat down with our Medical Advisor, Dr Jodie-Ann Senior, to unpack the complex and confounding health risk that kills 1 in 3 women - heart disease. š§ The prevalence of heart disease among women is often underestimated. Even today, many think that heart disease is a "Man's disease". The danger? Women continue to be under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed, potentially with fatal consequences. š The good news? Increased awareness and new research means that we can now arm ourselves with life-saving knowledge about prevention, early detection and how we can all play our part in looking out for the special women in our lives. šš¼ Key take-aways from this video:- ā Common symptoms of heart disease among women ā Women-specific risk factors ā Specific types of heart diseases that tend to affect women more than men ā How to advocate for yourself ā How to support the women you love Link to full video in comments. #WomensHeartHealth #CommunityHealth #KnowledgeIsPower #PreventionMatters #SayYesToYou #HeartDisease **General information only, not medical advice.
