                      Women's Heart Care


                      Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, and Eastern New Mexico Medical Center is committed to raising heart health awareness and encouraging preventive strategies to minimize health risk among women. Heart care professionals provide you with information about your risk factors, including blood pressure, cholesterol levels or previous history of stroke or heart attack, and ways to prevent development or reduce the progression of cardiovascular disease. We utilize diagnostic technology and provide a range of treatment and therapies to combat heart disease and improve overall heart health, including:

                      • Medications such as statins, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors and others.
                      • Minimally invasive cardiac catheterization techniques, including angioplasty, stent placement, ablation and coronary atherectomy.
                      • Education on heart disease and heart-healthy lifestyle changes.

                      Heart Attack Symptoms in Women
                      Although the most common heart attack symptom for both men and women is chest pain or discomfort, women are more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea and back or jaw pain. The most common symptoms of a heart attack include:

                      • Chest discomfort, which can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. The feeling can either last for more than a few minutes, or can go away and come back.
                      • Discomfort or pain in other areas of the upper body, such as in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
                      • Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
                      • Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea/vomiting or lightheadedness.

                      Recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack can help save your life.
