Join the Irish Heart Foundation’s ‘Her Heart Matters’ campaign and attend a free online webinar led by broadcaster Maura Derrane to learn how to protect your heart health as a woman. Learn from health experts and hear personal stories like Maura Canning’s at the upcoming free online webinar, empowering women in Longford and Mayo to prioritize their heart health.

As World Heart Day approaches, it is crucial to highlight the importance of discussing women’s heart health. Dr. Rebecca Phillip, a renowned cardiologist, has shared valuable information to help women understand and identify heart issues. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, yet only half of women are aware of this startling fact. Increasing awareness of the signs, symptoms, and risk factors can aid in the early detection and prevention of heart disease. However, it is important to note that women may experience different symptoms than men, making diagnosis more challenging.

Several risk factors contribute to heart disease in women, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, lack of physical activity, and diabetes. Regular blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar checks play a crucial role in monitoring heart health. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease.

It is essential for women to seek medical attention if they experience concerning symptoms or have a family history of heart disease. By advocating for their own health and being proactive in discussions with healthcare providers, women can ensure their heart health is a priority.

In an effort to promote heart health and provide small changes to minimize risk, a free online webinar is being organized in Longford. This webinar aims to educate women about heart health and empower them to take control of their well-being. Maura Canning, a local woman, will share her personal experience of discovering high blood pressure during a visit to the Irish Heart Foundation’s Mobile Health Unit.

Heart disease in women has long been under-researched, under-diagnosed, and under-treated. The Irish Heart Foundation’s ‘Her Heart Matters’ campaign seeks to address this issue by offering resources and support specifically catered to women’s heart health.

Women in Longford and Mayo are encouraged to register for the free webinar, which will provide valuable insights and tools to improve heart health. The webinar can be accessed through the Irish Heart Foundation’s website or Eventbrite.
