Why Women’s Heart Health Matters
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women—yet it remains under-recognized, under-diagnosed, and under-treated. Many women don’t realize their risk until it’s too late. At Ms.Medicine, we’re changing that with personalized, preventive care that prioritizes your heart health at every age.
A Different Risk Profile
Women experience heart disease differently than men. Risk factors like pregnancy complications, premature menopause, and autoimmune disease are often overlooked in traditional care. Our clinicians understand the unique ways heart disease shows up in women—and we make sure nothing gets missed.
Know the Signs. Change the Stats.
Chest pain isn’t the only warning sign. In women, heart attacks often present with nausea, fatigue, shortness of breath, or back pain. At Ms.Medicine, we’re committed to education and early detection, helping women recognize the signs and take action—before it’s an emergency.
Prevention is Power
Our approach goes far beyond cholesterol and blood pressure. We assess your full cardiovascular risk using advanced testing and clinical insight. Then, we work with you to create a personalized plan focused on nutrition, movement, stress reduction, and—when needed—medication support.
Hormones & Heart Health
From perimenopause to postmenopause, hormone changes can significantly impact your cardiovascular system. We understand the science and stay current on the data, helping you navigate hormone therapy options and manage your risk through every life stage.
