A new Medtronic survey reveals concerning gaps in women's heart health awareness. Despite cardiovascular disease being the #1 killer of women in the U.S., 56% of women have never discussed heart health with their mothers or family members. The survey found that 45% of women were more likely to discuss sensitive topics like politics or money before family heart health history. Notably, 94% of women are responsible for family health decisions, yet 60% struggle to prioritize their own health. Women face significant disparities in heart disease treatment, being 35% less likely to receive minimally invasive solutions for heart valve failure compared to men. The impact is particularly severe among women of color, with 43% of Hispanic women and 59% of Black women experiencing cardiovascular disease. In response, Medtronic launched the 'Letter to My Mother' campaign to encourage heart health conversations and awareness.
