7. 3. Effects of pregnancy on woman’s heart
For a women’s heart, pregnancy is like a stress test.
During pregnancy, a woman’s blood volume nearly
triples, her blood pressure rises, and her heart size
and stroke volume increase. During this time, women
are higher risk at getting heart disease, hypertension
and even diabetes if they stress too much.
In a pregnant woman, inflammation of the heart
muscle can also occur. Risks like heart valve issue or
genetic issues are also more likely to occur in
pregnant women. If any women ever experience
adverse pregnancy outcome then she should
immediately reach out to a cardiologist.

8. 4. Women hearts are at higher risk after menopause.
Several risk factors like weight gain, lack of physical
activity are common in women going through menopause.
These factors can also affect heart condition. Around the
time of menopause, blood pressure also rises up and
emerge the risk factors of heart disease in women.
Women should be of the risk factors for heart diseases.
Seek preventative care from a cardiologist. Adopt a
healthy lifestyle for your heart. Aditi Jagtap Pune at Ram
Mangal Heart Foundation helps heart patients. Look after
your heart health, it should be your priority. It is all about
the small choices you make each day which makes your
heart stronger and healthier.
