Susan Kotila is now an advocate for heart health after undergoing triple bypass surgery. She shares the symptoms she experienced and how getting her heart checked out through Munson Healthcare helped her prevent a heart attack.
“Women tend to be caregivers and tend to take care of their families. They may deny their symptoms, or they might be embarrassed to talk about it. So bringing up that heart disease can affect women just as much as men and that 1 out of 4 people, women die of heart disease and it is the No. 1 cause of death in women,” shared Jodi Radtke, R.N., B.S.N., with Munson Medical Center cardiac rehab.
