WOMEN AND HEART DISEASEHistorical Perspective

Pictorial Medical Guide by Forty Specialists (1953)

“Set the patient at ease: Remember that sensation in the heart regions are always frightening. Therefore, give the patient no sign that you are shocked, keep smiling, show him that he may not be in real danger.”

“The patient who loses the hope that he can survive an attack or overcome a heart condition, loses half the chance he has. It is, therefore, up to you THE WOMAN, to strengthen his will to live and give him hope.”

“Pain in the chest without other symptoms may be overcome by a few drops of spirits of ammonia …. If the pain is agonizing, the face pale or bluish, and covered with cold sweat, give repeatedly small amounts of straight brandy or whisky. Put the patient in a comfortable position, apply repeatedly very hot applications to the heart, eventually around the arms and feet, and a cool compress to the head.”

PARTICIPANT COMMENTSInspiration / Motivation / Action

I’ve observed many woman neglect their own health while caring for others. That was true for me, until I had my own health crisis--cancer--which was my wake up call. Now, I'm on a mission to make sure I take care of this body and mind. This was an inspiring, informative setting within which I could say, "I need to get informed and take charge of my own health.“

I will be making life style changes due to this event. Thank you.

As I mentioned earlier, we enjoy attending these events. Always good to learn and be aware about common issues (and reminding us that our health begins with me). I appreciate Dignity Health providing these opportunities. Thank you very much!

I like it all… just the right time in my life to take notice of what’s good for me.

Thanks for doing something very important to both women and men.

My wife and I really enjoyed the morning and now we can work on reduce stress and keep are heart healthy and strong. Thank you all

PARTICIPANT COMMENTSMedical Conditions / Health Advocate

The atrial fibrillation presentation was excellent. I loved that the Drwas able to discuss something so complex in a way that it could be understood by all. It was definitely an eye opener and will change some of the things I do.

Jack Gallagher was hilarious. I have to admit, I thought the senior stuff cracked me up. More importantly, I found the information presented by the doctors to be very informative. Will ask appropriate questions when I see my doctor next for my annual five minute exam.

As a result of this event, I'm going to ask my doctor to refer me for a PAD work up. I definitely have the symptoms.
