Heart Disease in Women

Season 17 Episode 1708 | 26m 46s

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death and disability for women in America. Yet, somehow Heart Disease is often overlooked as a major women’s health issue. It is the cause of death for 1 in 5 women in the U.S., and heart disease and stroke combined cause the death of 1 in 3 women every year. That’s more than all cancers combined. But 80% of cardiac and stroke events can be prevented.
