How Women Experience Heart Disease Differently

Heart disease is the top cause of mortality for women in the United States, yet its symptoms are frequently overlooked or mistaken for less serious issues.
This issue arises partly because symptoms in women are less obvious than expected and high LDL cholesterol is diagnosed or treated less aggressively than in men.
Women share common risk factors with men, such as obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes, but also face additional risks like coronary spasm, dissection, and broken heart syndrome.
LeAnne Bloedon, MS, RD, who leads clinical development at Esperion Therapeutics, highlighted the importance of increasing understanding around checking LDL levels, identifying high cholesterol, and managing elevated LDL cholesterol in accordance with clinical guidelines and patient-specific considerations.
Failing to recognize heart disease risks can cause severe outcomes, but understanding risks and taking proactive steps may help women manage their cardiovascular health.
