?? Endometriosis Linked to Higher Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke in Women ?? New research presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2024 shows women with endometriosis face a 20% higher risk of heart attack and stroke. With 1 in 10 women affected by endometriosis, this highlights the need to include female-specific factors in cardiovascular risk assessments. At Alva Health, we're dedicated to advancing early stroke detection. These findings underscore the importance of tailored approaches in protecting women's heart health. https://lnkd.in/eepTNUxz #StrokePrevention #CardiovascularHealth #Endometriosis #WomenInHealth
