Women With Heart Disease More Likely to Develop Late-Stage Breast Cancer
Women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer at diagnosis are more likely to have pre-existing cardiovascular disease, versus those with early-stage cancer.

How well a woman sleeps—not just how long—as she transitions through menopause may affect her projected risk for heart disease and stroke, new research suggests.
Obesity before and in early pregnancy may predict future cardiovascular risks and adverse outcomes like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes.

Read MoreThe WISE study sheds light on the crucial role of sex-specific left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in women’s heart health. High LVEF levels (>65%) were associated with significantly lower rates of mortality and nonfatal myocardial infarction. These findings challenge the prevailing practice of using a sex-neutral LVEF threshold, urging the adoption of female-specific approaches in recognizing, diagnosing, and managing cardiovascular disease.
Read MoreA study highlights the importance of a healthy lifestyle in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) among postmenopausal women with normal BMI. Researchers reveal that maintaining a high-quality diet, engaging in physical activity, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and having a lower waist circumference significantly reduce the risk of CVD.
Read MoreA genome-wide association study delves into the genetic underpinnings of preeclampsia and its connection to cardiovascular disease. By identifying shared genetic loci, the study highlights the potential overlap between these conditions and provides insights into the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with preeclampsia and gestational hypertension.
