Women face unique risks

Reproductive years

Hormonal contraceptives, fertility treatments and pregnancy-related disorders such as high blood pressure or gestational diabetes can affect a woman’s risk.
Heart disease survivor Christina Stuwe;

Menopause

As women transition to peri-menopause and menopause, estrogen production lessens, increasing their risk for heart disease and stroke.

Post-menopause

After menopause, the protective factors associated with estrogen are gone. This happens along with the natural aging process – and advancing age is also a risk factor.
