Did you know...- 1 in 2 women in the United States will die of coronary heart disease or stroke.
- 1 in 25 women in the United States will die of breast cancer.
- Coronary Heart Disease, also known as the "silent epidemic," affects one in nine women over the age of 45 and once women reach the age of 50, their chances for heart disease increases significantly.
Despite the statistics, women still fear cancer over heart disease. Too few women realize the dangers of heart disease and how it can affect them. The cardiologists and surgeons at Heart & Vascular Care, a division of The Iowa Clinic are committed to improving women’s health and dedicated to prevention, early detection and the treatment of heart disease.
