More than 60 million women in the United States live with cardiovascular disease - one of the leading causes of death nationwide. This morning, Dr. Jennifer Ashton joined Good Morning America on ABC News to give an early look at the findings of a new report coming tomorrow from the McKinsey Health Institute and American Heart Association that explores the state of women's heart health in the US, its health and economic implications, and actions needed to close the women's heart health gap. Stay tuned for the full report coming Tuesday from Dr. Lucy Perez and Dr. Megan Greenfield, Ph.D. of the McKinsey Health Institute and leaders from the American Heart Association. https://lnkd.in/gGwaNVSv #CloseTheWomensHealthGap #WomensHeartHealth #HealthEquity #CVH

#InternationalWomensDay mission: Assist women to be in a position of power, making informed decisions about their health. #HeartSDM #SharedDecisionMaking Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women worldwide, but women with CVD continue to be under-diagnosed and under-treated due to misconceptions and lack of awareness among both patients and doctors. That’s why Global Heart Hub is convening a Women and Heart Disease roundtable in April, bringing together patient advocates and leading experts in women’s cardiovascular health to explore ways in which the patient community can address these inequalities. Collectively we can all #InspireInclusion.

My esteemed colleague, co-author, and dear friend Stacey E. Rosen, MD, FACC, FACP, FAHA, recently joined Sandra Lindsay, DHSc, MS, MBA, RN, CCRN-K, NE-BC on the 20-Minute Health Talk Podcast to discuss why heart disease disproportionately impacts Black women, what factors contribute to their risk and what health systems like Northwell Health are doing to change the statistics. A fantastic conversation and worth the listen! Dr. Rosen's leadership, advocacy, and work through the Katz Institute for Women's Health has impacted the work of cardiovascular work on a global scale. Her commitment to give every patient the tools and resources to increase their heart health is the foundation of her work and the reason we co-authored "Heart Smarter for Women". Increasing awareness and leveraging the power of partnership are key factors in controlling and preventing heart disease .In addition, we must be aware of the complex interplay of sex, race and ethnicity, as well as social factors, in a woman's risk of developing and having complications from heart disease .

#InternationalWomensDay Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the United States, yet it is often thought as primarily a men’s disease. What are the challenges affecting women’s heart health? #SWHRtalksHeart Women are more likely to experience delayed heart disease diagnoses and receive less therapeutic interventions than men. Women of color are more likely to have their heart health complaints trivialized by health care professionals. Younger women with heart attacks are more likely to be misdiagnosed compared to their male counterparts.
