Women's Heart Health and its Importance in Public Health

My name is Evy Monge and I am currently a second year Public Health student. I want to share with the community and population at large the importance of women taking care of their hearts.  Many women do not realize that heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the USA.  Certain gynecological conditions may increase the risk and the symptoms of a heart attack may differ in women than in men, making the identification of symptoms more difficult for women.  This is a troubling fact and more information on heart disease specifically targeted for women must be disseminated.   I will share tips, stories, and evidence based practices that will help keep you all heart healthy. Please leave your thoughts, comments, and suggestions. Thank you for stopping by!
