The best prevention is to get screened and know your risk factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">A new survey out shows that most women don\u2019t know when to get screened or how often, and they\u2019re getting started 10 years too late.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">The American Heart Association recommends women begin screening for heart health by age 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">A national survey done by Orlando Health shows that most women think you shouldn\u2019t start screenings until your 30s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Even though heart disease affects men, too, it\u2019s especially important for women wanting to get pregnant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">\u201cMany people believe it is a disease that mostly affects men, however, women are equally affected. In fact, we have been dying more of heart disease than men,\u201d said Dr. Maria Carolina Demori.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Just like any disease, early detection is key. The recommended screenings for women to start by age 20 are blood pressure, cholesterol, body weight and waist circumference. You should also talk with your doctor about physical activity, diet and smoking habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">\u201cWe need more education. We need to educate our young people, our children that this is not something you are going to wait until you are 40 to start screening, start preventing,\u201d Demori said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/wkbn.com\/2017\/01\/24\/study-shows-women-get-screened-for-heart-disease-too-late\/<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/health\/study-shows-women-get-screened-heart-disease-late.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study shows women get screened for heart disease too late Study shows women get screened for heart disease too late:- Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S., but most women are waiting too long to get screened for heart health.
