At the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center, we’re working to close the gaps in women’s cardiovascular research—because one-size-fits-all medicine doesn’t work.

Women deserve data. Women deserve answers. ❤️

❤️ Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in women—yet many women still underestimate their risk.

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re committed to advancing research, awareness, and prevention so every woman can know her risk and protect her heart.

Historic milestone in cardiology!
On Dec 26, Dr. Raj Makkar at Cedars-Sinai performed the first-ever commercial transcatheter transseptal mitral valve replacement. @fda.gov had approved of the device earlier this week. Dr. Makkar also led the first research case in 2018.

✨ Save this for your next cardiology visit ✨
Heart symptoms don’t always look the same—especially in women. Asking the right questions can change the conversation, the testing, and the care you receive.

🔁 Share it. Save it. Bring it with you.

💗 Between the holidays & New Year’s — take a moment for your heart. Did you know stress & disrupted routines can impact heart health? Take a short walk, sip water, breathe deeply — your heart will thank you.

Most women still don’t know that heart disease is their #1 threat.

At the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center, we’re committed to transforming that reality through research, education, and advocacy.

Stay with us as we champion women’s hearts. ❤️

Heart disease in women doesn’t always look like what you expect. Shortness of breath, nausea, jaw pain, or anxiety can be signs too. Trust your instincts and know the hidden symptoms. Your heart deserves attention. ❤️ #HeartHealth
