Heart Check-Up, When Should A Woman Have One? - Dr. Saks (VIDEO)

Dr. Saks:

A woman should get her heart checked out if she thinks she is having any chest discomfort, irregular heart beats, or any other symptoms that just don’t seem right to her. Also, if she has a strong family history of heart problems, she may want to get checked out as well, or if she just wants a preventative screening test, she also should get checked out.
