I just had a consultation with Prof. Claire Mounier-Vehier, MD, and I wanted to tell women not to be afraid of seeing your doctor whether or not you have symptoms. They will listen to you and share prevention tips adapted to your lifestyle, habits and overindulgences. It’s so important to get screened and have a lifestyle diagnosis before you get sick, rather than after! It’s essential to learn more about cardiovascular disease and to establish a constructive dialog with your doctor about the goals you want to meet during a specific period. They can prescribe complementary checkups and tests to better evaluate which best practices you should follow. You need to take care of yourself before it’s too late. I encourage you to do it before it’s too late. Congratulations on the beautiful Women’s Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation (Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes) website that’s full of useful information for women about cardiovascular disease.
