The program runs in three steps, each led by your Cardiologist.
1. Initial Cardiologist consultation
Comprehensive review of the patient's history, concerns and goals with their physician.
2. Diagnostic testing
Advanced testing tailored to the patient's specific needs and cardiovascular risk profile.
3. Personalised plan and follow-up
A comprehensive treatment and prevention plan with ongoing Cardiologist support, monitoring and review.

Why women's heart health matters
“Almost every hour of every day, a woman in Australia dies of heart disease. Yet many believe heart disease is a male disease. Heart disease can happen at any age for women, with risk factors changing throughout life's course, including during pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause. Women have unique biological characteristics and social experiences that can affect their risk of a heart attack or stroke, and these are often under-recognised or misinterpreted. It is important for everyone to understand these risk factors and warning signs to better support the women in your lives and take preventive action.”
