Women’s Cardiovascular Program

Women have specific heart health needs. Einstein’s Women’s Cardiovascular Program is designed to fully meet the cardiovascular care needs of women at all stages of their lives, including:

• Risk evaluation and counseling pre-pregnancy
• Care of pregnant women who have heart disease
• Heart disease risk management for women in menopause
