Heart Disease in Women: What Every Woman Should Know
Q&A Session with Dr. Alli, Chief Cardiologist, LECC
Heart disease is often associated with men, but it remains a significant health concern for women too. What’s more, some symptoms and risk factors can differ, making awareness particularly important.
In this edition of our Expert Interview Series, Dr. Alli discusses important aspects of heart disease in women, addressing questions around:
• Why women face specific cardiovascular risks.
• How hormonal changes and underlying health conditions influence heart health.
• Symptoms women should look out for.
• The impact of lifestyle choices on cardiovascular health.
• Preventive measures and the importance of regular screening.
From unexplained fatigue and shortness of breath to dizziness and unusual discomfort, knowing the warning signs can make a difference.
As Dr. Alli explains, heart disease can often be prevented or better managed through the right knowledge, healthy lifestyle choices and regular medical care.
Ladies, don’t leave your heart health to chance. Take the time to understand your risks and prioritise regular cardiovascular check-ups.
