America's Healthcare Advocate

More women die from heart issues each year than all cancers combined! We say: "do you have chest pain" to women and to men, but commonly in women it could felt as pressure in the chest or really any symptom from the waist on up including tooth pain and overwhelming fatigue. These are signs of a serious heart issue. That is what bothers Dr Tracy Stevens the most, that in men and women, symptoms may be different. Women still to this day don't recognize heart attack and stroke as their number one health threat. We've gone from one out of three deaths every year, one out of two deaths every year, being in women, being due to heart attack and stroke, compared to 1 in 39 from breast cancer. This fascinating show features Dr. Tracy Stevens and Dr. Anna Grodzinski who both specialize in Women's Cardiovascular Disease & Cardiology at Saint Luke’s. This is season 20 episode 27 of America's Healthcare Advocate. To learn more visit: https://www.saintlukeskc.org/locations/saint-lukes-cardiovascular-consultants And
