Women and Heart Health: Heart Disease and Prevention for Women

Presentation description:

If you are like most women, you are probably busy taking care of everyone else but yourself. In this presentation, Dr. Bond will highlight cardiovascular conditions most prevalent in women. She will also discuss what increases a woman’s risk for heart disease and prevention tips for heart health. Make yourself a priority in 2021 and register for this empowering session. Let’s talk about what prioritizing your heart health and self-care looks like, and how you can encourage the women in your life and across your organization to do the same.

Session participants will understand:

  • What heart disease is defined as and how it’s preventable 80% of the time
  • The traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease
  • The unique, female-specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease
  • Disparities in cardiovascular disease across the United States, especially Arizona
  • How employers can support employees facing cardiovascular disease and how to promote the importance of heart health.
