Her Heart Matters: Strong Hearts, Strong Women

Join us for another health chat about women's heart health – because women’s hearts are special. Heart disease is still the leading cause of death for women, yet most don’t know their risk, or that heart attack symptoms look different from men's. Even more troubling, according to a recent study in the Go Red for Women spotlight issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association, “women ages 18-54 were more likely to die after a first heart attack than men.” This virtual chat brings women’s heart experts together to shine a light on the overlooked signs and symptoms women experience that can aid in prevention, earlier diagnosis and when recognized early, save lives. We’ll also breakdown the newest cholesterol guidelines that were recently released in March 2026 by the American College of Cardiology and other leading medical associations. You’ll learn how to manage your cholesterol at any age, how to assess your risk and the steps you can take to protect your heart health. Whether you want to understand your own risk or support the women in your life, this virtual webinar will offer real world tips, information, and allows you to ask questions that will help you take charge of your heart health. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Topics to be discussed on today's webinar include: 1) How heart attacks affect women differently. We’ll discuss common symptoms, subtle warning signs and overlooked symptoms. 2) What happens after a heart attack. 3) Understanding the unique risk factors in women that affect heart health. 4) The latest cholesterol guidelines and what the new numbers mean for your heart health. 5) Real world tips to protect your heart health.
