The Women’s Heart Program at South Miami Heart Center

Women juggle multiple responsibilities—family, career, friends and community commitments. In caring for others, they often neglect to care for themselves. This can have serious consequences for three reasons:

• Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women.
• Women are more likely than men to die from a sudden heart attack, with no previous symptoms.
• Women who have heart attack symptoms often don’t recognize them as warning signs.

The Women’s Heart Program at South Miami Heart Center makes it easy for women to take care of their cardiovascular health. You spend most of your life caring for others. When it comes to your heart, we believe it’s time you get the personal attention you deserve.

Dedicate Time to Your Health

After a consultation with our cardiovascular nurse, you’ll have the information you need to make smart, healthy decisions. Think of it as one-stop shopping for your heart health.

Our Women’s Heart Program Session includes:

• One-on-one consultation with a cardiac nurse
• EKG
• Blood pressure and heart rate screenings
• Lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, glucose)
• Cardiac risk profile
• Physician referral, if needed
