Preventive Cardiology for Women

When most women are asked what the leading cause of death is for women over 25 yrs of age in the US, the most common answer is “cancer.” However, the correct answer is heart disease. One in three women in the US will die of heart disease and about 8 million women in the US are living with heart disease at any one moment. First cardiac events are more fatal in women than men. Did you know that 42% of women who have a heart attack, will die within one year after this event compared to 24% of men? A woman’s heart is different.
Risk factors for women and men are well documented and many are preventable. Despite this, alarming trends in the prevalence of risk factors continues. Aggressive cardiac risk factor management, education and intercepting women at key points like childbearing and menopause, can be keys to better outcomes. Risk factors include high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, poor lifestyle choices and family history. However, symptoms of a cardiac event in a woman differ from a man. Men report crushing chest pain with pain radiating down the left arm. Many women never experience this and report more atypical symptoms of a cardiac event including shortness of breath, nausea and unusual fatigue. Hormones and age are also influential with heart disease in women.
Effective treatment options are available to not only manage cardiac events but to slow down this often progressive disease process. Listen in to this segment to hear local cardiology expert, Dr. Jason Reingold address the topic of preventive cardiology for women. Understanding and managing cardiac risk factors today may reduce the chance of heart disease for women tomorrow.

On July 17th, I was honored to have my friend, Ben Hendrick, in the studio. Ben did an outstanding job of articulating the value proposition of the new Dell. I have learned a great deal about Dell since Ben joined the company 5 years ago but I learned a lot more during our time together in Booth 61. Ben gave a major shout out to Dell SecureWorks and the outstanding company Mike Cote, Tyler Winkler, and the entire SecureWorks team built before Dell purchased their company last year. Dell SecureWorks has become one of the fastest growing business units in the Dell Corporation which makes all of us in Atlanta very proud.
We also talked about the tremendous contribution that Ben and Dell have made to the city of Atlanta since Ben accepted responsibility to be the civic and not for profit advocate for Dell in the Southeast. In my opinion, Ben has become the “Face” for Dell in the Atlanta community. I would venture to say that Ben has more first name relationships with CIO’s in this region than any other Dell executive. A lot of Ben’s growth and success is because of his involvement in TechBridge, WIT, and the GCLA CIO of the Year Awards. Regardless of how many times I praised Ben personally, he would not accept the credit but gave the credit to the entire Dell team and to the culture at Dell. I also learned about the recent establishment of a WISE (Women In Search of Excellence) resource group here in Atlanta to support and help women who are employees at Dell succeed. (http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/corp-comm/cr-diversity-wise).
One of the highlights of our time together was two call in guests. Brenda Holmes, Partner with Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP , and current Women in Technology Board President called in to thank Ben and Dell for the incredible support they have given to WIT, www.mywit.org. That was a special moment only to be followed about 15 minutes later by a call from Carrie Bates Hastings, Director of Corporate Relations for TechBridge, www.techbridge.org. Carrie also thanked Ben and Dell for their above and beyond contributions financially, with equipment, and consulting services. Last year in the Atlanta area over 1, 000,000 people were touched directly by TechBridge and the agencies they serve. Carrie said that would have been impossible if not for Dell and their support.
This was my 20th week of hosting Booth 61 and every show has been special to me. This 20th show was an extreme high peak for me because Ben and I began our relationship about 7 years ago when I was a guest speaker to his MBA Class at Kennesaw State University. I have watched Ben grow from a good technology executive into a real leader in our community. Ben has done an unbelievable job in the last 7 years creating a personal brand that involves hard work, ethical business practices, and a passion for Dell that makes you want to do business with Ben and with Dell. In addition, through the Dell team and the Dell financial contributions to our technology community, Ben is recognized as a key business leader with considerable influence in our community. I am very proud of and for my friend, Ben.
I know you will enjoy this show. I enjoyed listening while we were recording and I have listened to the show twice today. I learn something of value each time I listen.
