The Hudson Valley Heart Center knows how to treat a woman.
Since 1984 more women have died of cardiac disease than men making heart disease the # 1 killer among women. A staggering one in every three women will die of heart disease.
But the Women’s Cardiac Care Program at the Hudson Valley Heart Center is working hard to change these startling statistics. We provide expertise and technology combined with strategic communications women need to win this critical battle. Our program doesn’t treat women as a man’s equal; we treat them differently because women are up against a different, more difficult foe. Cardiovascular disease presents itself differently in women. What’s more, many cardiac centers are focused squarely on men and often do not provide women with the special attention they require. Only recently has the media brought heart disease in women to the country’s awareness. Only now are many women beginning to see that they need special care and that they often must advocate for themselves in order to find it.
We believe we are at the vanguard of the changing world of heart health for women. The Hudson Valley’s premier center for cardiovascular care employs the latest clinical research, imaging techniques, and minimally invasive procedures to provide state-of-the-art, comprehensive management of heart and vascular disease.
