Women's cardiac needs and symptoms may be different from those of men. For example, women are more likely to experience shortness of breath, activity intolerance, nausea and pain in their backs and jaws than men, according to the American Heart Association.

Desert Springs Hospital will hold a series of heart-related seminars to educate and empower women about their health and how to prevent cardiac problems.
