BY COURTNEY DONAHUE
New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn
Methodist Hospital is helping
women in the fi ght against
heart disease.
The Park Slope medical
center’s cardiologists work to
prevent the condition in local
women several ways,
starting with educational
initiatives
for city doctors to
ensure those healers
understand exactly how
to treat heart disease in
women.
“Every year we
host a symposium,
invite doctors, and
educate them as
to what makes
women different
when they go into
surgery, or with a cardiac
event, so they can approach
the patient appropriately,”
said Dr. Gioia Turitto, director
of Cardiac Electrophysiology
Services at Methodist
Hospital.
Turitto said the hospital
educates physicians on a regular
basis about the different
approaches to treating heart
disease in men and women,
as some doctors who have
not been properly trained in
the particular symptoms displayed
by women could miss
them, or treat them the same
as their male patients.
The next step,
Turitto said, is
to educate the patients.
“Most women still
believe that breast
cancer is the worst
thing that can
happen to them,
but it’s actually
heart disease
that kills more women
than breast cancer,”
the doctor said. “We speak to
women and say, you do have to
be afraid of breast cancer, but
also take into consideration
cardiovascular disease.”
Hospital leaders strive to
get women the help they need,
and those efforts include making
the medical center a more
welcoming and comfortable
place for its female patients.
Currently, fi ve out the hospital’s
13 cardiologists are
women, an unusually high
number, according to Turitto.
“I don’t think you can fi nd
another place in Brooklyn or
Manhattan with fi ve female
cardiologists,” she said.
And Methodist Hospital is
always looking to recruit more
female physicians, so that
women who would rather be
seen by someone of the same
sex feel comfortable seeking
treatment there.
The doctors also focus their
education initiatives towards
younger women, as it can
be more effective to prevent
heart disease than to treat it
after someone gets sick.
And medical-center leaders
are working to make cardiachealth
information available
in the hospital’s obstetrics
department, where they can
reach thousands of Brooklynites
who visit for prenatal
services and to give birth, according
to Turitto, who said
pregnant women are among
those who can benefi t the most
from such awareness.
“If you develop high blood
pressure when you’re pregnant,
it’s something that
can come back 10 or 20 years
later. They forget about it,
but it’s a future risk factor,”
she said. “It they know
from the outset it can lead to
high blood pressure or diabetes,
they can implement lifestyle
changes to prevent a
full-blown problem.”
Take steps to better understand
your heart health by
participating in and donating
to the American Heart
Association’s Go Red For
Women campaign, which
raises awareness about heart
disease and stroke in women.
Spread the word and encourage
others to participate by
sharing #WearRedandGive
on social media.
