Women Understanding Women
Dr. Shani Saks, D.O., cardiologist and Women's Heart and Wellness director, takes women's health to heart. Due to significant and premature heart disease in her own family, Dr. Saks has a strong commitment to this cause.
The Heart of the Matter
As women, we tend to overestimate our risk for cancer and underestimate our risk for heart disease, yet the numbers tell a different storey. Cardiovascular disease -not cancer- is the number-one killer of women in the United States.
The risk of dying from a heart attack, stroke or other forms of cardiovascular disease is greater than one in two. More women than men die of cardiovascular disease every year.
We believe that women should be keenly aware of their risk for cardiovascular disease. In addition, cardiovascular disease isn't a condition you can tackle on your own. Women's Heart and Wellness is an exciting new addition to the wealth of specialized services and personalized care that you have come to expect from Arizona Heart Institute.
