Today marks Dress Red Day, an initiative by the Dutch Heart Foundation to spotlight cardiovascular disease in women—the leading cause of death for women worldwide.
Symptoms in women often differ from those in men, appearing subtler and more easily overlooked. At Santé, we're committed to changing that. Our October issue features the expert article "12 Things You Didn't Know About Your Heart," drawing from years of trusted health journalism.
Key Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
Family history of heart issues is a primary red flag, signaling potential hereditary risks. Recurrent migraines tied to your menstrual cycle during puberty can also be an early indicator. High blood pressure in midlife or during pregnancy demands attention—the higher the reading in pregnancy, the greater your future heart risk.
Protect your heart with Santé's proven tips. Flip to page 34 in our October issue for actionable advice from health authorities.
