Men and women are very different when it comes to matters of the heart, and that’s just as true for matters of heart health. While heart disease is on the decline among men, it is rising among women. It’s the number one killer of women over 35 worldwide, accounting for more deaths every year than all cancers combined.. Meet the Expert is part of the Patient Alumni Speaker Series that connects Heart Institute patients and experts, as well as members of the community, on a variety of topics related to heart disease, in an informal and social setting.. Recorded on September 26, 2017 at the Canal Ritz Restaurant, Ottawa, Canada

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one killer of women in the United States (Lloyd‐Jones et al., 2010).Nurses, particularly those caring for women during their reproductive years, are uniquely positioned to provide education and support for women’s long‐term cardiovascular health.

Health across the life span 61 Chapter 3 Health across the life span T his chapter looks at trends and developments in health throughout the life span, deal-ing with four specific age groups – in-fants and small children; older chil-dren and adolescents; adults up to the age of 65; and older people, with a special focus on women’s health. Instrumental to the surge of publications on PA as a public health issue was the publication of the first Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health in 1996. 1 The key finding of the report was the recognition that regular PA improves the quality of life across the life span and has significant health benefits.

In the meantime, the National Institutes of Health has announced a $625 million Women’s Health Initiative, a study of more than 160,000 women to take place over fourteen years and intended to compile information on women and cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and other medical conditions.
In fact, the first scientific conference on “Gender and Longevity: Why Do Women Live Longer Than Men?” was sponsored by the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Washington, D.C., in September 1987.
from Fountain of Age by Betty Friedan Simon & Schuster, 2006
The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was a major 15-year research program to address the most common causes of death, disability, and poor quality of life in postmenopausal women: cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.
Appointed as the first woman to head the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Director Bernadine Healy advocated women’s health issues from the beginning of her tenure and launched a $625 million project to study breast cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease in 160,000 women shortly after taking office.
Near the end of the first decade of the 21st century, we can celebrate the achievements of scientists and clinicians, in collaboration with women, who continue to transform how we think about and care for women’s health.
During childbearing years, women are relatively heavy users of health care, but women are healthier in the long run and they predominate in the numbers of the elderly, and thus among physicians’ older patients.
Finally, the women’s health movement also benefited from the emergence of a new class of professional women, ready to talk openly about and demand care for disorders, such as incontinence, long hidden behind the cloak of female modesty.
By the mid-1980s women physician-scientists and other health professionals began to work with advocacy and public policy experts in Washington, D.C., to heighten public and professional awareness of research issues pertaining to women’s health.
Women’s Health Letter is a monthly, subscription-based newsletter for women over 40 written by health advocate and nutritionist Nan Kathryn Fuchs, Ph.D. It contains easy-to-understand, science-based articles of particular interest to preand postmenopausal women.

This is happening to me my results come back clear but I’m struggling, squeezing pressure of my chest the pain is awful it spreads to my jaw and down to my arm feels like my doctors don’t take it seriously. I don’t know what to do it’s ruining my life.
awsome and inspirational one. Thanks for sharing your experience… Am from Chennai, India, 50 years, I have a MB on LAD (Left Anterior Descening ) artery. I did lots of weight lifting I never posed any problem, especially, last 2 years I was having lots of confusions since my resting ECG, ECHO and Stress test e verything was normal, I was continue doing weight exercise, last year it was a nightmare and then dr’s did angio they found MB…. Now I discontinued the exercises but occasionally am getting little bit discomfort. Mine is little bit of muscle bridge but the report did not show the size of the MB
This is Reyna, Thank you all for your kind comments. It has been a long while since I was on this page. Raising awareness about Women’s Heart Health issues is important & necessary. It’s the #1 killer of women. I shared my story to give hope to people. Before surgery, I had debilitating 24/7 chest pain. Walking short distances was a struggle, I also experienced chest pain at rest and I got to the point where I couldn’t sleep. When I would finally sleep, I would be propped up in a pillow and the chest pains were so constant & severe that I often wondered if I’d wake up the next day. No exaggeration! Prior to this I was healthy, active and very busy with my family and career. Surgery saved my life. Dr. Tremmel is the best cardiologist! Her care was golden. I am also most grateful for my surgeon, Dr. Michael Fischbein. Stanford was the best medical facility I could have gone to.
I was diagnosed wtih MB in Standford by Dr. Dennis Lee. Nowaday, I am having a constant presssure especially right beneath the left collar bone and some time near the sternum area. I also have develop a light headache on the back of my left brain. Sometime, tingling sensation near the cheek area. Just wonder if you have seen some of these symptoms.
Hello Reyna, You said in your video that your episodes are “mostly gone.” Are you still having pain? I’m contemplating a “procedure” but it I’m having second thoughts. What kind of lifestyle changes did you undergo prior to deciding on surgery. So far, my doctor has only offered surgery as an option. He wants to either cut the muscle or cut the artery and lay the artery on top of the muscle. What did your doctor do?
My name is William,i am here to testify of how i got cured from Cancer by a Doctor called DR Abumere, i was browsing through the Internet searching for cure on CANCER and i saw comment of people talking about how Dr Abumere cured them. I was scared because i never believed in the Internet but i decided to give him a try because i was having no hope of been cured. so i decided to contact him with his email that was listed on the comment when i contacted him he gave me hope and sent a Herbal medicine to me that i took and it help me a lot, now i’m a free person now without sickness, my CANCER test repot came out negative, even when I went back after three months again there was still no trace of any cancer in my body. I pray for you DR Abumere, God will give you everlasting life, you shall not die before your time for being a sincere and great man. I’m so happy. You can also contact him if you have any problem via Email: [email protected] gmail.com, you can also WhatsApp him on +2349021975055. HE ALSO CURES OTHER DISEASES LIKE (1).HERPES CURE(2).ALS (3).HEPATITIS B(4).HIV/AIDS CURE(5).HPV CURE(6).SPIRITUAL HEALINGS (7).ASTHMA(8).DIABETES and many more
the ignorance of Drs is the issue… women do go for help and are told they are attention seeking… and in the meantime their medical conditions go untreated…

Hello Reyna,

Is it possible for doctors to cure the many ailments we endure?

Alzheimers dementia arthritis heart disease diabetes obesity cancer and on and on.

the ignorance of Drs is the issue… women do go for help and are told they are attention seeking… and in the meantime their medical conditions go untreated…
