Women's heart team

Overview
Our cardiovascular group strongly focuses on improving outcomes for women with heart disease. Piedmont Heart Institute has established a team of women’s heart experts who care for women with heart conditions and issues in a more holistic way.
Our team teaches women about awareness of heart disease risks through our risk screening and ensures that our patients can access support services to help them through diagnosis and treatment – and on to better heart health.
