Unique Heart Conditions in Women
Some heart conditions are more common in women and may be missed without specialised expertise:
-
Microvascular Dysfunction: Chest pain despite “normal” arteries
-
Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD): Cause of heart attacks in younger or postpartum women
-
Takotsubo (Broken Heart Syndrome): Stress-related heart weakness
-
Chemotherapy-related cardiomyopathy: Heart effects after breast cancer treatment
These require a cardiologist familiar with female-specific heart patterns.
Heart Screening For Women By Life Stage
Your heart risk changes across different stages of life:
In your 20s–30s:
-
Baseline cholesterol, blood pressure, and ECG
Pregnancy:
-
Monitor for pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes
Perimenopause:
-
Annual lipid and glucose checks; note any new fatigue or breathlessness
Postmenopause:
-
Higher risk
-
Consider heart screening for early detection.
Your heart changes with each stage. Your care should too.
