A free cardiovascular Ask the Expert lecture presented by Inova

Heart disease remains the number one killer in the United States and is responsible for one out of every three female deaths. Yet women are often underdiagnosed and untreated.

Join Virginia Heart cardiologist Rachel Berger, MD, for an interactive discussion about how to reduce your risk of heart disease as you age. Dr. Berger will also describe the specialized services provided by the team of experts in the Inova Women’s Cardiovascular Health Program.

Why it matters: Women’s hearts differ from men’s in both structure and function, and hormonal changes that take place throughout their lives impact their risk for heart disease. It’s important to “know your numbers” – from blood pressure to blood sugar – and to be a strong advocate for yourself and your loved ones.
