LIVINGSTON, NJ — Not only are heart attack symptoms different in men and women, but women are also treated differently than men. On Tuesday, Aug. 16, from 7:15 to 9 p.m., Dr. Marc Cohen, director of cardiology at Beth Israel Medical Center, will discuss and answer questions highlighting gender differences regarding prevention and treatment of cholesterol, hypertension, chest pain, and warning signs of heart attacks.
Awareness that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women has nearly doubled in the last 12 years. However, most women fail to make the connection between heart disease risk factors and their personal risk of developing the disease. Women of all ages can benefit from this discussion, and will learn the best way to prevent a “broken heart.”
This program will be held at the NCJW/Essex Center for Women in Livingston, 70 South Orange Ave., Suite 120. Registration is required and open to all women in the community. To register or for additional information about this or other programs, please call the Linda and Rudy Slucker NCJW/Essex Center for Women at 973-994-4994, or visit www.centerforwomenNJ.org. Workshops are free for members of NCJW and charged for non-members.
