Flow Space, June 25, 2024
While the attention on breast cancer awareness is good, doctors agree that there should be just as much emphasis on women’s heart health. UTMB’s Dr. Fatima Khan tells Flow Space that one of the challenges is that women do not have the same signs and symptoms as men. “Most of the literature in the books and educational material is based on the research done on men, since we did not know for ages that heart disease can also impact women,” says Khan.
