We’re proud supporters of Go Red for Women, the American Heart Association’s campaign to save lives by raising awareness of how heart disease affects women. The signs of heart disease can appear differently in women than in men, so it’s critically important that women know their numbers and establish a relationship with a primary care provider or cardiologist who can identify subtle signs of the condition.

Jennifer Mirza, DO, cardiologist with Parkridge Medical Group appeared on WRCBtv’s 3 Plus You to discuss warning signs of a heart attack, the importance of knowing your heart health numbers and how family history can affect your risk for heart disease.
