YOUR HEALTH,
OUR PRIORITY.
Cardiovascular Services: Your Heart Matters
The biggest health threat to women over age 25 is cardiovascular disease. Each year, six times as many women die of cardiovascular disease as they do from breast cancer. More women than men die each year from heart attacks, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions, yet women are less likely to receive appropriate care.
Our experts know that women have different needs from men when it comes to cardiovascular health. The Program for Women’s Cardiovascular Health at Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is founded on the principles of identifying cardiovascular disease in women of all ages and providing care designed specifically for women. Recognized among the top 10 cardiology, heart and vascular surgery programs in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report, 2024–2025, Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is a nationally recognized destination for those who require highly specialized cardiovascular care.
