It’s Just a Matter of Time

Thursday, Feb. 3

UI Hospitals and Clinics
East Room
Elevator F, Level 8
Register online.

Heart disease used to be considered a man’s disease. However, since 1984, more women than men have died of coronary artery disease in the United States.  Heart disease remains the #1 killer of Iowa women and kills more women in the United States than all forms of cancer combined (including breast cancer).

Join us as two of the women cardiologists from the UI Heart and Vascular Center discuss coronary artery disease in women and what you can do about it.
Topics include:

• Women without heart disease - What you can do to protect yourself now.
• Women with heart disease – What you need to know about prevention.
• Women with heart disease who need a heart catheterization  – a newer way to decrease the risk of the procedure (Wrist catheterization)
• Tours of a cath lab
• Interactive demonstrations on heart-healthy food preparation and exercising

Our presenters are:

Elaine Demetroulis, MD Interventional Cardiology	Ellen Gordon, MD Cardiology
