Why women could be more at risk for heart disease than men

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Heart disease was thought to be a men’s health problem for decades, but now we’ve learned that women die of heart attacks at twice the rate of men and women of color are nearly 50% more likely to die from heart disease. Part of the problem is that women and their doctors often don’t consider heart disease as a factor in their medical care. Dr. Stacey Rosen is on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Women's Heart Alliance, a non-profit co-founded by Barbra Streisand. Dr. Rosen joins us to explain the risks and signs of heart disease that are different in women, and how to make sure both you and your doctors are keeping a lookout at every stage in your life.
