Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, an interventional cardiologist with over 20 years of experience, warns that heart disease, the leading cause of death among women, often presents with subtle symptoms that can be easily overlooked. Conditions such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and hypertension during pregnancy can leave lasting impacts on a woman's heart health, significantly increasing her risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. Many women may not realize their risk, as warning signs like fatigue or mild chest tightness are often dismissed as stress or anxiety. Dr. Bhojraj stresses the importance of recognizing these early symptoms and understanding one's medical history to address potential heart health issues proactively. By paying attention to their bodies and seeking timely medical intervention, women can manage or even reverse many heart-related conditions.
