Women's Heart Health
Many women fear the onset of breast cancer, but
surprisingly, heart disease poses a bigger threat.
While one in nine women develops breast cancer
in her lifetime, two out of three women develop
cardiovascular disease and stroke. Coronary
artery disease is the major cause of mortality
in women in the United States, accounting for
nearly 250,000 deaths each year.
For women at risk of heart disease, Penn Cardiac
Care offers new treatments, which help lower cholesterol
and cardiac risk. Our physicians have also successfully
reversed heart disease through a customized and
aggressive lifestyle/diet/exercise modification
program tailored to each patient.
Please speak to your Penn Cardiac Care physician
about any women's health issues you may have.
For more information, please see our Health
Information section.
