This is episode 1  of the series: Heart Disease in Women: Risk, Prevalence, and Diagnosis

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death among men and women in the United States. The incidence of cardiovascular disease continues to increase. Women affected by the disease often present differently than their male counterparts. Those providing healthcare must be aware of the burden of cardiovascular disease and how it can affect men and women in similar but different ways. Healthcare providers generally understand that heart disease is a serious condition affecting a significant portion of the population but may not fully comprehend how it can present and, specifically, how it can affect men and women in similar but different ways. We, as healthcare providers, can best serve our patients by understanding and acknowledging this critical information.  

The purpose of this course is to review important topics in cardiovascular disease as they relate to women in honor of American Heart Month (February). Key aspects covered will include defining coronary heart disease, clinical presentation (particularly in women), risk factors, prevalence, diagnosis, and prevention.

This is episode 1  of the series: Women’s Reproductive Health Issues in the Face of Changing Legislation

For nearly 50 years, the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court of the United States to legalize elective abortion has made a substantial impact on women’s healthcare and accessibility to elective abortion methods. The 2022 Supreme Court of the United States’ decision regarding abortion has spurred much discussion about how healthcare and women’s health issues are and may be impacted. Changes to laws and healthcare policies create a need to understand how to navigate the new and different healthcare environment based on the influence and effects of these changes. A nonpartisan, nonpolitical discussion of matters related to women’s health and reproductive healthcare are examined to help bring clarity to the current conversation.
