Second Opinion with Joan Lunden

Heart Disease in Women

Season 17 Episode 1708

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death and disability for women in America. Yet, somehow Heart Disease is often overlooked as a major women’s health issue. It is the cause of death for 1 in 5 women in the U.S., and heart disease and stroke combined cause the death of 1 in 3 women every year. That’s more than all cancers combined. But 80% of cardiac and stroke events can be prevented.
