At Melbourne Heart Care, we are proud to announce the opening of our Women’s Heart Clinic, which is dedicated to addressing the unique heart health needs of women. Our specialised team of female cardiologists, nurses, and healthcare professionals are committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate care tailored specifically for women.
Understanding the Unique Needs of Women
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, but it often presents differently than in men. Women may experience subtler symptoms and have different risk factors, which can lead to underdiagnosis and undertreatment. Our Women’s Heart Clinic is here to bridge that gap, ensuring every woman receives the attention and care she deserves.
