Women have unique heart health needs at every life stage. On February 5th, 2020 HealthyWomen held an educational roundtable moderated by renowned cardiologist Dr. Nieca Goldberg, Medical Director of NYU Women's Heart Program and Senior Advisor, Women's Health Strategy, NYU Langone Health, to learn more about heart-health issues associated with birth control decisions, pregnancy, menopause and aging, as well as chronic conditions. Dr. Goldberg and panelists discussed the latest heart disease research specific to women's health across the lifespan, as well as the health disparities that exist in cardiovascular disease, and provided recommendations for how and when to discuss heart health with health care providers.
To prepare for the event, HealthyWoman surveyed more than 1,600 women about their views on heart health. Read the full survey report here.
