Understanding Why Women Face Higher Risks of Fatal Heart Attacks Than Men
Heart disease is the number one killer of women worldwide, yet the signs and symptoms are frequently misunderstood, overlooked, or dismissed.
This event is more than just a discussion; it's a wake-up call.

1. Unique Risk Factors in Women: We will shed light on the unique risk factors that make heart attacks more fatal for women, including how conditions like menopause, hormonal changes, and autoimmune diseases contribute to this increased risk. You'll learn how to identify these risks early and take proactive steps to mitigate them.
2. Gender-Specific Symptoms and Why They’re Overlooked: We will explore the gender-specific symptoms of heart attacks in women—such as nausea, back pain, and shortness of breath—that are often missed by patients and healthcare providers. You’ll gain the knowledge needed to recognize these subtle signs and act before it’s too late.
3. Preventive Strategies Tailored to Women: We will discuss preventive strategies specifically designed for women. From diet and exercise to stress management, you’ll discover practical steps you can take daily to reduce your risk of heart disease.
