Women’s Heart Health: Understanding Greater Susceptibility to Lifestyle Risks

May 21, 2025

Women face unique heart health risks, especially as they age. Research shows that women in poor health have nearly five times the risk of heart disease compared to those in ideal health. At WMCHealth, specialists highlight the impact of hormonal changes during menopause, lifestyle factors like stress and inactivity, and social determinants such as income and access to care. Symptoms in women often differ from men and can be misdiagnosed, making education and prevention critical. Regular checkups, staying active, and managing blood pressure are key steps women can take to protect their heart health. Learn more or schedule an appointment at WMCHealth.

When Shoulder Pain Won’t Quit: Here’s What You Can Do

May 21, 2025

Chronic shoulder pain caused by arthritis, injury, or age-related wear can make everyday activities difficult. When nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy or injections aren’t effective, shoulder replacement surgery may be a solution. WMCHealth offers both traditional and reverse shoulder replacement options. Traditional replacement is ideal for patients with healthy rotator cuffs, while reverse replacement, available at WMCHealth’s St. Anthony Community Hospital, is designed for those with severe rotator cuff damage or previous failed surgeries. Recovery includes physical therapy and often results in significant pain relief and improved mobility within months.
