Discover the differences between men and women when it comes to heart disease.
Shalizeh Shokooh, M.D., Co-Medical Director and Cardiologist
Dr. Shalizeh Shokooh: As we have seen -- the presentation (of heart disease in men and women) is different. We really don’t know why they present differently but they do present differently. Still chest pain is the highest and most known presentation but there are studies that have shown there are a lot of women who don’t have chest pain at all and they come with indigestion and shortness of breath.
Dr. Shokooh is also the co-author of Women and Heart Disease, An Epidemic
