Care that gets her heart

Your Heart. Your Story. Your Care.

Women can experience heart and vascular disease differently than men. As cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer of women in America, your risks, symptoms and life experiences matter. 

At Franciscan Health, women’s heart care starts with listening. We consider the whole picture–hormones, pregnancy history, stress and symptoms that don’t always look so textbook.

Take action for your one and only extraordinary heart! Don’t ignore your risks and symptoms with care that understands your story.

Show Up For Your Heart

Know the Risks. Protect Your Extraordinary Life.

Your heart might still remember–even when you have moved on:

  • That complicated pregnancy with high blood pressure or blood sugar
  • The new “apple-shaped” figure you’re adjusting to
  • Or heart palpitations you brushed off thinking it’s just anxiety

Women’s heart risks can occur due to many things we don’t realize matter, like pre-eclampsia, belly weight or even autoimmune conditions. But knowing your risks isn’t scary! It’s how you show up for your heart.

Take a free heart risk assessment to calculate your personal risk for heart disease. See what your heart may be telling you and take the steps you need to protect it!

Known female risk factors for cardiovascular disease:

  • Smoking & Diabetes
  • Waste-to-hip ratio < .80
  • Having an "apple" body shape
  • Smoking + Birth Control
  • Being post-menopausal
  • Complicated pregnancy history

 

Symptoms of cardiovascular disease can sometimes look different for women:

  • Vague symptoms that may feel like the flu or high anxiety
  • Pain in the neck, jaw or back
  • Sweating or severe fatigue
  • Symptoms occurring at rest
  • And more!

Having an emergency?

Don’t ignore signs. Call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest ER.
