Heart health
Good evening doctors,
Ever since heart problems have increased in young individuals and many are prone to sudden cardiac arrest and heart attacks, I've been alert about my health as well. Just wanted to know how likely are women in their 20s to get a heart attack and what are some tests to be done monthly/yearly to check the functioning of a healthy heart?
Thanks in advance to all!!
