Despite the best efforts of heart health experts, only 56% of women recognize that heart disease is their No. 1 killer; among African American women that number drops to just 25%. Jean Cacciabaudo, MD, medical director at Huntington Hospital, renowned cardiologist and member of Northwell Health's Katz Institute for Women's Health, sits down with Sandra Lindsay, RN to discuss the differences between men and women when it comes to heart disease, what health systems are doing to address disparities in care, and what women seeking a cardiologist or cardiac surgeon should know.
This bonus edition of 20-Minute Health Talk continues the conversation from the previous episode, which featured a panel of cardiovascular experts offering tips for patients looking for a cardiologist or cardiac surgeon. You can listen to that conversation here.
