Redefining the Standard of Care for Women's Cardiovascular Health with Dr, Suzanne Steinbaum, DO

What the current standard misses in women, and what to do differently on Monday morning.

About this session Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in women, and most of what we call standard care was built on data from men. Symptoms present differently. Risk scores underestimate. Referrals come later. The gap is well documented, and it still shows up in the exam room every week.

Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum has spent her career closing that gap. In this session she walks through how she assesses, counsels and follows women in practice, and where clinicians in every specialty can catch risk earlier.

What we will cover

• Where the standard risk assessment underperforms in women, and what to add
• Symptoms and presentations that get attributed to something else
• Prevention through the life stages: pregnancy history, perimenopause, menopause
• The conversation that moves a patient from worried to acting
• When to refer, and what a cardiologist wants in that referral

Who it is for Physicians, NPs and allied clinicians who see women in practice. Primary care, OBGYN, endocrinology, psychiatry and rehab all welcome. Live, 60 minutes, questions throughout.

Speaker Suzanne Steinbaum, DO. Preventive cardiologist, New York. Co-founder of Well Women, the Doctoloop society for women's health across New York City and Long Island.
