Heart Disease in Women Over 40: 3 Life-Saving Tests

September 8, 2025

Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined — yet too many women are misdiagnosed or dismissed until it’s too late. I’m Dr. Georgine Nanos, at Kind Health Group in Encinitas, San Diego, and I’m sharing the three most dangerous blind spots in women’s cardiac care — and how you can protect yourself. 


 In this video, you’ll learn: 

  • Why “good cholesterol” isn’t always protective (it happened to me personally) 
  • The genetic marker 1 in 5 women carry but rarely get tested for 
  • Why traditional stress tests miss early heart disease in women 
  • The 3 life-saving steps every woman over 40 should take


This isn’t about fear. It’s about empowerment. Heart disease in women is preventable when you know what to look for.
