The symptoms of heart disease are unique in women. Dr. Jennifer A. Tremmel, Dr. Abha Khandelwal, and Katharine Edwards, PhD, experts with the Stanford Women’s Heart Health Clinic, share when to start paying attention to heart health, strategies for heart disease prevention, and how anxiety and depression influence heart health.

Note: In 2019, heart disease was the leading cause of death among men and women in the U.S. COVID-19 is currently the leading cause of death. To learn how Stanford Health Care is protecting patients, visit our COVID-19 Resource Center.
