Cardiovascular Disease claims the lives of 1 in 3 women in the US.
We were joined by Spectrum Health Cardiologist, Dr. Laura Franey, to learn the story behind the numbers and discuss preventive care and treatment.
Dr. Franey said cardiovascular disease claims more women’s lives than all forms of cancer combined, and stroke is also the #5 killer in Michigan.
She said women can take charge of their health by being aware, living well, and knowing the warning signs.
