Women often prioritize the health and well-being of others before their own. But did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S.? And yet, it's still often overlooked and misdiagnosed in women. The good news is that heart disease is preventable in many cases and there are steps we all can take to reduce our risk factors and identify a problem before it’s too late. Our guest today, Amrita Karve, MD, FACC, Cardiologist, Co-Founder and Co-Director of Women's Heart Program at Mount Carmel Health System, is here to help us understand what those risk factors are, how to recognize the symptoms and more. Because before we care for others, we need to take care of ourselves. Please visit Beyond the Paper Gown for more details on this episode and the Beyond the Paper Gown podcast series.
