Why Women’s Heart Health Deserves Special Attention
Women’s hearts often tell a different story.
Empathetic Care | Evidence-Based Medicine | Women-Centric Focus
Heart disease in women can present with subtle symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, nausea, or back discomfort — often missed in traditional check-ups.
As a female cardiologist and heart doctor, Dr Chan helps women understand, prevent, and recover from these uniquely female cardiac conditions.

“Every woman’s heart tells a story.
My role is to listen, detect early, and protect it for life.”
Why Women’s Heart Health Needs Special Attention
Women are affected by a distinct spectrum of heart diseases, many of which are easily missed by conventional tests.
Female-Predominant
Heart Conditions
-
Microvascular Angina & Vasospasm
Normal arteries, but abnormal function -
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD)
A leading cause of heart attacks in young women, often postpartum or under stress. -
Takotsubo (“Broken Heart”) Cardiomyopathy
Stress-induced heart weakness that mimics heart attack.
Hormonal & Life-Stage Influences
-
Pregnancy-related heart disorders
Pre-eclampsia, peripartum cardiomyopathy, gestational hypertension. -
Menopause
Cholesterol and blood pressure rise sharply after oestrogen declines. -
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) insulin resistance and early atherosclerosis risk.
The Life-Course Approach
Dr Chan provides longitudinal care from the reproductive years to menopause and beyond, helping women identify risks early, detect subtle warning signs, and maintain long-term heart health.
Breast Cancer & the Heart
Certain breast cancer treatments, including anthracyclines, trastuzumab (Herceptin), and chest radiation, can affect heart muscle or rhythm.
Dr Chan provides cardio-oncology care: monitoring, prevention, and management of cancer treatment-related heart problems.
Her approach includes:
-
Pre-treatment heart assessment (echo + strain imaging, cardiac biomarkers)
-
Close cardiac monitoring during therapy
-
Long-term follow-up for survivorship
She works closely with oncologists to ensure every woman can complete treatment safely, without compromising her heart health.
Advanced Imaging for Early Detection
Dr Chan uses advanced 3D echocardiography and Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) to identify heart-muscle weakness even before symptoms occur.
GLS is especially valuable for patients with:
-
Breast cancer treatment exposure (chemotherapy or radiation)
-
Certain forms of cardiomyopathy / heart failure
By identifying early dysfunction, Dr Chan can personalise treatment plans, protecting heart health long before irreversible changes occur.

Every woman’s journey is unique.
Dr Chan’s philosophy combines clinical precision with compassion: Creating care plans that fit real life.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Women’s Heart Health & Female Cardiologists in Singapore
Why do some women prefer a female cardiologist?
Many women feel more comfortable sharing heart symptoms and lifestyle issues with a female doctor.
Female cardiologists are also attuned to women-specific risks such as menopause, pregnancy complications and breast-cancer therapy side effects. These factors often missed in routine check-ups.
Choosing a female cardiologist ensures your care plan reflects these unique aspects of women’s heart health.
Are there cardiologists in Singapore who focus on women’s heart health?
Yes. A growing group of cardiologists specialise in female-specific cardiac care, addressing menopause, pregnancy-related conditions and the heart effects of cancer treatment. Look for clinics or hospitals that highlight Women’s Heart Health in their services. Dr Chan Po Fun offers these women-focused heart services at Mount Alvernia Hospital and Gleneagles Hospital.
