Heart disease doesn’t affect women the same way it affects men. Symptoms can be more subtle, and risk can change with major life stages like pregnancy and menopause.

We asked three NYU Langone Health cardiologists to answer three essential questions about women’s heart health. Dr. Anais Hausvater explains why pregnancy can increase heart risk during and after delivery, Dr. Harmony Reynolds highlights a key screening women shouldn’t skip, and Dr. Shaline Rao breaks down how heart failure symptoms often show up differently in women than in men.

Our cardiologists encourage women to prioritize prevention and early detection not just during Heart Month, but all year long. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rEWoUQ

A healthy lifestyle goes a long way in protecting your heart. But sometimes, your risk for heart disease can be written into your DNA, especially if it runs in your family.

That’s where genetic counseling and testing can help. While many people associate genetic testing with cancer risk, it can also identify inherited heart conditions. At NYU Langone Health, Simone Weinmann, our cardiovascular genetic counselor, works with patients to better understand their personal and family risk. In this video, she explains how genetic testing for heart disease works, which family history details are most important to know, when testing might be recommended, and what happens next if you do have a positive test result.

Finding inherited heart conditions early can help you and your care team take proactive steps to manage your risk—and support your family’s health, too. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4ry2kPp

Former Marvel Entertainment CEO Peter Cuneo endured years of debilitating pain in his legs that was so severe he would lose feeling in them, often forcing him to sit on the ground or on a fire hydrant to avoid falling. After three years of injections that offered little relief, he knew he needed another solution.

Peter had spinal compression, a condition where pressure on the spine or nearby nerves causes symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the arms or legs. He turned to NYU Langone Health spine surgeon Dr. Jeffrey A. Goldstein, who performed a less-invasive robotic surgery that relieved the compression almost instantly. “I had a miracle experience,” Peter reflects. “Immediately when I woke up, even though I had surgical pain, I could tell all the leg problems were gone.”
