Heartbeat Matters: The Systole Health Blog

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women in the United States, yet many symptoms and risk factors often go undiagnosed or undertreated, especially in states like Texas, Georgia, Ohio, and Illinois, where cardiovascular disease rates and healthcare access gaps are particularly concerning.

At Systole, we’re committed to closing this gap by providing personalized, women-focused cardiovascular care in regions where it’s needed most. That’s why we’ve expanded to Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas, bringing expert heart health support directly to you.

‍

Texas: Heart Health Challenges in a Diverse and Growing Population

Texas is home to a vibrant and rapidly growing population, but with that growth comes a rising burden of heart disease, especially among women. Nearly 23% of  women in Texas face barriers to adequate insurance coverage^{1 2}, making it harder to access essential heart screenings and preventive care. Women here experience higher rates of heart disease and strokes, with rural and minority communities disproportionately affected³. This gap in care highlights the urgent need for accessible cardiovascular support tailored to Texas women’s unique needs.

At Systole, we recognize these challenges and are committed to delivering extended, focused care that goes beyond typical doctor visits. Our approach offers Texas women the time and expertise needed to address heart health compassionately.

Georgia: Bridging the Heart Health Divide for Women Across Communities

In Georgia, heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, with Black women experiencing a cardiovascular mortality rate approximately 28% higher than their White counterparts⁴. Social determinants such as income, education, and healthcare access create significant disparities in outcomes, particularly in underserved communities. Many women in Georgia struggle with unmanaged hypertension, obesity, and diabetes - all major contributors to heart disease - but often lack the time or resources to get the tailored care they need.

Systole’s care model in Georgia aims to close this gap by providing longer, personalized visits that focus on the whole person, not just symptoms. We empower women to understand their risks, optimize their health, and make informed decisions in a supportive environment.

Cardiovascular Risks and Women’s Health in the Midwest

Ohio ranks seventh nationwide for stroke deaths, approximately 17% higher than the U.S. average⁵,  with midlife metabolic changes, hypertension, and Type 2 diabetes fueling cardiovascular risk. Meanwhile, postmenopausal women commonly experience significant LDL cholesterol increases (10–17 mg/dL on average) which compounds risk if left unmanaged. In Illinois and Michigan, this highlights the urgent need for proactive lipid management in a population already burdened by chronic hypertension and disease risk. Given these trends, women in the Midwest benefit particularly from an extended visit model that screens for silent stroke signs, tracks blood pressure and lipid changes through menopause, and supports complex care decisions like GLP‑1 therapy.

Common Heart Health Concerns Across These States

Women across our six expansion states face a similar set of hurdles that standard 15-minute visits rarely solve:

• Short appointment times that limit in-depth conversations about symptoms like fatigue, palpitations, or shortness of breath.

• Under-recognized heart disease symptoms that differ from the classic chest pain.
• Persistent hypertension and elevated stroke risk.

• Metabolic shifts during menopause that impact cholesterol, blood pressure, and weight.
• Complex decisions about GLP-1 medications, from insurance eligibility to cardiometabolic benefits.

• Limited access to preventive care, especially for women in rural or underserved communities.

‍

Addressing these issues requires comprehensive, personalized care that looks beyond quick fixes.

‍

From Ozempic to Wegovy, GLP-1 medications are top of mind for many women navigating their heart and metabolic health. Search trends show an influx of people asking: What are the real risks and benefits of GLP-1 medications? Are the side effects worth it? Will this actually help with my heart or just my weight?

And when you do search those questions, the answers can feel all over the place. It’s difficult to grasp the full, comprehensive list of risks and benefits, and how they might apply to your unique situation. Let’s break down what these medicines really do, the risks to know, and what's still missing from most conversations.

‍

First: What do GLP-1s actually do?

GLP-1s (short for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) work by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates blood sugar, appetite, and digestion. This leads to:

• Lower blood glucose levels
• Reduced appetite
• Slower gastric emptying (you feel fuller for longer)
• Weight loss (often 5-15% of body weight)

‍

But beyond these, emerging research shows heart-protective benefits as well*. GLP-1s may:

• Lower the risk of heart attack and stroke
• Reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
• Reduce inflammation 
• Reverse or improve fatty liver disease
• Improve sleep apnea symptoms
• Slow the progression of chronic kidney disease

‍

For women managing heart disease, obesity, or menopause-related metabolic changes, these aren’t just “nice-to-haves,” they’re real, measurable improvements. For more on how GLP-1s help prevent heart disease, click here.

‍

What about the risks?

Most side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, constipation, bloating, and tend to improve over time. Rare side effects include gallbladder issues or thyroid concerns. But there’s no universal experience. For women especially, symptoms and risk factors can differ and are often underrepresented in clinical trials. That’s why it’s critical to get personalized guidance from clinicians who understand your cardiovascular needs before you start your GLP-1 journey.

‍

GLP-1s aren’t a shortcut – they’re a support tool

These medications don’t replace healthy habits - they work best alongside:

• A balanced, anti-inflammatory diet
• Physical activity (even gentle walking)
• Sleep, stress management, and emotional support
• Ongoing monitoring (e.g., cholesterol, liver, insulin, hormone levels)

‍

Building the right routines around your medication can help turn it into a catalyst, not a crutch. 

‍

Final Take: Should you start a GLP-1?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. For some women, a GLP-1 can be transformational - not just for weight loss, but for improving blood sugar, cholesterol, and even heart function.  For others, the timing, risks, or costs may outweigh the benefits. These medications work gradually - it can take weeks, even months to see the full effects. Without lifestyle changes and adequate support, many experience rebound effects and weight gain. Yet, with most primary care visits lasting 15 minutes or less, there’s rarely enough time to fully explore the real questions and concerns you might have about GLP-1s.

‍

That’s where Systole comes in.

‍

At Systole, we offer 60-minute appointments focused on women’s cardiovascular and metabolic health. We’ll evaluate the full picture: symptoms, labs, risk factors, and goals, then  give you the space to ask questions and walk away with a plan for your heart, metabolism, and lifestyle - with or without medication. 

‍

Whether you’re curious, cautious, or already prescribed a GLP-1, we’re here to help. Book your visit today and get empowered to make the right decision for you.

‍

When it comes to heart health, women deserve more than rushed appointments and one-size-fits-all advice. That’s where group virtual care steps in to help! Here’s why:

‍

Stronger Connections, Stronger Hearts

Heart health isn’t just about numbers on a chart - it’s about connection. Women in Systole Health’s group care program experience powerful improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and A1C levels. But that’s not all. By sharing their experiences and learning alongside others, participants report feeling more motivated and empowered to stay on track. 

‍

Prevention That Actually Works

Early prevention is crucial for reducing heart disease risk, especially for women with conditions like prediabetes, PCOS, or pregnancy related conditions. Group care creates space for deeper conversations about these risks and what to do about them. Instead of brushing past prevention during a quick in-person visit, providers can give women the education they need to take action before problems arise.

‍

More Time, Better Answers

In traditional care, you might get 18 minutes with your provider if you’re lucky. In group virtual care? Sessions often last up to 60 minutes. That means more time to ask questions, share concerns, and walk away feeling heard, supported, and understood. Not to mention, appointment wait times improve by more than 50% when adopting group virtual care. Instead of the average waiting period of 57 days, you’re looking at just 25 days or less!

‍

Real Talk Leads to Real Results

Managing your health can feel overwhelming, but when you hear how someone else deals with stress, fits in exercise, or prepares a five-minute nutritious meal, sometimes it just clicks. The shared learning experience in group care helps participants gain practical tools and resources that lead to lasting lifestyle changes.

‍

Access Without the Stress

Life’s busy. Between work, family, and everything else, managing your health can feel like just one more thing on the never-ending to-do list. Group care makes it easier by combining expert advice with peer support - so you’re not figuring it out alone.

‍

The Bottom Line

The journey to better heart health involves more than doctor’s visits - it’s sustained by feeling empowered, supported, and equipped to thrive. Group virtual care gives you the time, accessibility, and community you need to take control of your health with confidence.

If you’ve ever searched “quick, easy, and healthy meals” or “how to get motivated to exercise regularly”in your web browser,  you’re not alone. And when you do, the results can feel endless and not always helpful. Generic meal plans. Conflicting advice. Tips that don’t quite match your lifestyle or health needs. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or like none of it applies to you.

That’s where artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT can help.* But to get meaningful answers, it helps to know how to guide the conversation, share the right context, and fine-tune responses. The right prompts can easily transform vague advice to guidance that’s actually tailored to your body, your goals, and your day-to-day.

‍

Try These Prompts to Get Started

ChatGPT isn’t  a replacement for your care team - but it can be a smart sidekick. It’s free, easy to use, and can be surprisingly encouraging. Here are a few simple prompts you can copy into ChatGPT to start seeing the benefits for yourself:

• I am a [number]-year-old female dealing with high cholesterol. What should I eat to help lower my blood pressure?
• Can you help me make a weekly heart-healthy grocery list?
• What are 5 simple, plant-based meals for women in their 60s that take less than 20 minutes to prepare?
• What’s a good daily walking plan to better my heart health when my BMI is [number]?
• Act like a motivational coach and give me a 1-minute pep talk to follow through with my new habit.

‍

These prompts are just the beginning. With the right framework, AI can become a practical, low-pressure support tool to help you eat well, move more, and stay consistent - even on the hard days.

‍

Pro-tip: You can ask ChatGPT to remember key details - like your dietary preferences or health goals - so future responses become more and more personalized.

At Systole, we believe women deserve care that meets them where they are. AI tools like ChatGPT can help - but they work best when paired with real human guidance and a supportive care circle.

‍

Start with one prompt. One healthy habit. We’ll help you build from there.

‍

*ChatGPT does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your physician or healthcare provider with any medical questions, concerns, or before starting a new nutrition or fitness program. If you experience symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, seek immediate medical attention.

‍

While men often exhibit classic signs of heart attack like “crushing” chest pressure, shortness of breath, or nausea, women can experience a wider range of other less obvious and frequently misdiagnosed symptoms.

Recognizing these subtle signs could help you or someone you love catch a heart attack early. Why does this matter? Because 95% of women who suffered a heart attack had symptoms for a month or more  beforehand - but most didn’t realize they were heart-related.

‍

The Spectrum of Signals Your Body Sends

Note: Women often experience multiple symptoms simultaneously (3 or more), including many Early Warning Signs and Moderate Signals that men might not report. If you check multiple boxes, speak to a healthcare provider and request a cardiac evaluation.

‍

‍

High blood pressure (hypertension) often develops silently in women, and many don’t know they have it until complications arise. By understanding your numbers, identifying risks, and knowing when to act, you’ll be better equipped to stay proactive and informed as you monitor your blood pressure and overall well-being. 

‍

Blood Pressure Thresholds

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mm Hg. Here’s how blood pressure categories break down:

• Elevated: 120-129 / less than 80 mm Hg
• Stage 1 Hypertension: 130-139 / 80-89 mm Hg
• Stage 2 Hypertension: 140+ / 90+ mm Hg
• Hypertensive Crisis: 180+ / 120+ mm Hg (requires medical attention)

‍

For women, even “slightly elevated” blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack, heart failure,and stroke more than it does for men. Studies show that arteries in women respond differently to high pressure, sustaining more damage even at lower thresholds [1].

‍

Best Practices for Measuring Blood Pressure

For a more accurate reading, follow this HEART mnemonic when measuring your blood pressure:

H – Hold still: Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring.

E - Eliminate triggers: Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and exercise for at least 30 minutes beforehand.

A – Arm at heart level: Rest your arm on a flat surface so the cuff sits at the same height as your heart, back supported and feet level on the floor.

R – Right-sized cuff: Wrap a properly fitting cuff on bare skin, just above the elbow.

T – Take multiple readings: Record 2-3 measurements, one minute apart, and log your results.

Why Women Face Unique Blood Pressure Challenges

Hormonal Fluctuations: After menopause, declining estrogen levels contribute to stiffer arteries and rising blood pressure. More than 75% of women over age 60 have hypertension [2].

‍

Pregnancy Complications: Conditions like preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy) significantly raise a woman’s lifetime risk of heart disease. Even years later, women with a history of preeclampsia are twice as likely to develop hypertension [3].

‍

Nontraditional Symptoms: Unlike men, women can experience subtle signs like headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, or anxiety - making dangerously high blood pressure easy to miss without regular monitoring.

‍

🚩 Red Flags for High Blood Pressure

You might not feel any symptoms at all - but when signs do occur, they may include:

• Intense headaches
• Vision problems
• Chest pain
• Difficulty breathing
• Nosebleeds
• Severe anxiety

‍

If you experience any of these symptoms along with a blood pressure reading of 180/120 mm Hg or higher, seek emergency care immediately.

‍

What About Low Blood Pressure?

Low blood pressure (hypotension) can also be a concern, especially if it causes symptoms like dizziness, fainting, fatigue, or even signs of shock. Unlike high blood pressure, there’s no universally defined threshold for what qualifies as "too low." What’s considered low for one person may be perfectly normal for another.

That’s why it’s essential to consider how you feel, not just the number. If you’re experiencing lightheadedness when standing, extreme fatigue, or a noticeable drop in energy, it could indicate that your blood pressure is too low for your body’s needs.

Consistently low readings– particularly if accompanied by symptoms– should be evaluated by a physician, especially for women with existing heart conditions. Finding and maintaining your personal healthy range is key: not too high, not too low.

‍

When to Get Medical Help

✔️ Blood Pressure Over 130/80: Talk to your provider about lifestyle changes and possible treatment.

✔️ Complications During Pregnancy: If you’ve had high blood pressure during pregnancy, even years ago, prioritize regular heart health checkups.

✔️Trust Your Instincts: If you’re experiencing any new or unexplained symptoms, especially if you’re over 40, it’s important to get your blood pressure checked. You know your body better than anyone - don’t hesitate to seek help when something feels off.

‍

At Systole Health, we specialize in personalized heart care for women. Our virtual programs are designed to support you through every stage in life - from pregnancy to menopause and beyond - with tailored strategies to manage your blood pressure safely and effectively. Start today and take control of your heart health for a stronger tomorrow.

When it comes to heart health, knowing how to accurately measure your blood pressure is a vital skill. High blood pressure (also known as hypertension)  is one of the top risk factors for heart attacks and strokes, and it can often go unnoticed because it usually doesn’t come with obvious symptoms. That’s why monitoring your blood pressure regularly is one of the best ways to stay ahead of your cardiovascular health. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to get the most accurate reading possible.

‍

Preparing for accurate blood pressure measurements

To get true and reliable readings, preparation is essential. If you need help remembering the best practices for measuring blood pressure, just follow your…  HEART!

‍

❤️ H – Hold still

Sit quietly for about five minutes before measuring your blood pressure to ensure your heart rate has stabilized.

❤️ E - Eliminate triggers

Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and exercise for at least 30 minutes beforehand. These activities can cause a temporary spike in your reading. It may also  help to empty your bladder and sit in a chair with back support before you measure, as this may cause you to tighten muscles that ultimately  raise your numbers.

❤️ A – Arm at heart level

Sit in a chair with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Don’t cross your legs. Rest your arm on a flat surface and support with books or pillows as needed so the cuff sits at the same height as your heart for the most accurate readings.

❤️ R – Right-sized cuff

Wrap a properly fitting cuff on bare skin, just above the elbow.  Poor cuff fit is one of the most common reasons for inaccurate readings. 

❤️ T – Take multiple readings

Record 2-3 measurements, one minute apart, and log your results.

‍

Pro tip: It’s best to take your blood pressure at the same time each day - consistency will help you spot any potential changes in your readings over time.

‍

How to read your blood pressure numbers

Once your blood pressure is measured, you’ll see:

→ Systolic pressure: The top number, representing the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.

→ Diastolic pressure: The bottom number, representing the pressure when your heart is resting between beats.

→ mmHg: millimeters of mercury - a standard unit used to measure how much pressure your blood is putting on your artery walls when your heart beats and rests.

‍

A normal reading is typically less than 120/80 mmHg. Here’s a breakdown of the blood pressure categories:

‍

Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day, so if one isolated reading is high, it isn’t enough for a diagnosis. If you consistently measure 130/80 mmHg or higher, it’s a sign to speak with your healthcare provider about managing your blood pressure. 

‍

Who should be checking their blood pressure? And how often?

How frequently you check your blood pressure depends on your current health status, risk factors, and whether you're managing a diagnosed condition. Here are some evidence-based guidelines:

‍

• If you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure (hypertension):
  If your blood pressure is not yet under control, measure it twice daily (morning and evening) for 3–7 days to help establish a diagnosis or evaluate response to a medication change. Once your blood pressure is consistently under control (average <130/80 mmHg), you can scale back to 1–3 times per week, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
  
  
• If you’re at risk but not diagnosed with hypertension:
  There are no formal guidelines for how often to measure, but periodic checks – weekly or monthly– are a good idea. If your doctor has noted elevated readings in the office (over 130/80 mmHg in at least 2 of your last 3 visits), consider measuring twice daily for 3–7 days to monitor more closely at home.
  
  
• If you’re monitoring a treatment change or medication adjustment:
  Your provider may ask you to take readings twice a day (morning and evening) for 3-7 days until your numbers stabilize.
  
  
• If your blood pressure is normal and you’re not at high risk:
  Monthly to yearly checks may be sufficient, especially between annual physicals or during routine heart health screenings.

‍

Measuring your blood pressure at home

If you’ve already been diagnosed with hypertension or have risk factors like diabetes, smoking, or a family history of heart disease, it’s critical that you measure your blood pressure regularly. At home monitoring can help you track your blood pressure consistently, identify trends in your readings, and ensure any treatments or medications prescribed are working.

Note: While home monitoring is useful, it does not replace regular visits with your healthcare provider. Be sure to continue your medical checkups and discuss any concerns with your doctor.

‍

Conclusion

Monitoring your blood pressure is a powerful tool in taking control of your heart health. By following these best practices, you can ensure that you’re getting more accurate and reliable readings - helping you stay on top of any changes in your blood pressure. Remember, consistency is key. And always follow up with your doctor if you notice any concerning trends.

Women’s heart attack symptoms don’t always look dramatic like it does in Hollywood – but that doesn’t mean it’s any less serious. Signs and symptoms of heart disease are often subtle and therefore easily missed, making early prevention even more important. Here are four tips to help you stay ahead of heart disease:

‍

1. Catch the Early Cues

Heart attack symptoms in women often show up as indigestion, jaw, neck, or back discomfort. These signs are easy to dismiss as stress or anxiety, so don’t hesitate to ask your doctor for further evaluation, especially if something feels off. Some common symptoms include unusual fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, indigestion or stomach pain, unexplained sweating, dizziness or lightheadedness, sleep disturbances, and upper back, shoulder, or arm pain.

‍

2. Ask for an Lp(a) Test

Most people know about the routine cholesterol panel, but very few are tested for Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a) - a stickier type of cholesterol that speeds up plaque buildup. 1 in 5 people have elevated Lp(a) level, and they might not even know it. It isn’t affected by diet or lifestyle and is passed down in families. Ask your doctor for this test and encourage family members to do the same. It’s especially important to test after menopause as Lp(a) levels increase by 20-30%.

‍

3. Consider Wearable Tech

Your smartwatch can do more than count steps – it can track key heart health metrics like VO2 max (maximal oxygen consumption), which measures how efficiently your body can use oxygen during exercise, and HRV (heart rate variability), the difference in time between each heart beat. Low VO2 and irregular HRV are linked to future heart concerns, but improving these numbers help to reduce that risk.

‍

4. Strengthen Your Heart with Muscle

Building muscle plays a major role in heart health. Strength training can reduce artery stiffness, lower inflammation, and help regulate blood sugar. Think of muscle as a “glucose sponge” that supports your heart and overall wellness. Aim to incorporate weight lifting into your routine alongside regular movement throughout the week.

‍

Heart disease is largely preventable, and small, actionable steps can make a big impact. Know your numbers, take proactive measures, and don’t underestimate the power of consistent healthy habits. By prioritizing your heart health today, you’re setting yourself up for long-term success in preventing heart disease.

‍

Not sure where to start? That’s okay! You can book a consultation with me, Dr. Simin Lee, to create a personalized plan that works for you.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve looked into a woman’s eyes and had to deliver news that shouldn’t have come as a surprise. “Your heart is in trouble.”

The heartbreak isn’t just in saying those words—it’s knowing that, for so many women, it didn’t have to get to this point. That if they had come in sooner, if they had known what to look for, if they had been heard by the healthcare system, their story could have been different.

‍

Why Are We Still Here?

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women—yet most women don’t realize they’re at risk until something serious happens. I see this every day: women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, sitting in my office, shocked to learn they have high blood pressure, dangerous cholesterol levels, or even early signs of heart failure.

How did we get here?

Part of the problem is access to care. We have a shortage of cardiologists, and 85% of them are men, many of whom haven’t been trained in sex-specific heart health issues. Women’s symptoms often present differently than men’s, yet medical research and training have historically centered around men’s heart health. That means far too many women are misdiagnosed or dismissed altogether.

Then, there’s the delay in care. Studies show that 80% of women put off seeking medical attention, often prioritizing their partners, children, and jobs over their own well-being. By the time they finally get checked out, their risk factors have compounded. What could have been managed with early intervention now requires more aggressive treatment.

‍

The Reality of Preventable Heart Disease

Here’s what I wish every woman knew: most heart disease is preventable.

Many of the women I treat could have drastically reduced their risk with earlier screenings, small lifestyle changes, and proactive care. But no one told them. No one warned them. And, often, when they raised concerns, their symptoms were brushed off as stress, anxiety, or simply aging.

It’s infuriating. And it’s why I’m here, speaking directly to you.

‍

What You Can Do Right Now

If you’re reading this, I want you to stop and ask yourself: When was the last time I put my health first?

If you can’t remember, start today.

• Get checked. Schedule a heart health screening. Ask for your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels to be tested. If you have a family history of heart disease, request additional markers like lipoprotein(a) and CRP.
• Pay attention to your body. Women’s heart attack symptoms can be subtle—fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, or pain in the back, jaw, or neck. If something feels off, don’t ignore it.
• Take small steps now. You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Add more movement into your day, improve your diet little by little, manage stress, and commit to getting enough sleep.
• Find a doctor who listens. If you feel dismissed, push for answers. Advocate for your health the same way you would for a loved one.

‍

You Deserve to Be Healthy

Women spend their lives caring for others, but your health is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. The best way to care for those you love is to take care of yourself first.

At Systole Health, we’re changing the narrative. We offer expert-led virtual group care designed for women, so you don’t have to navigate heart health alone. We educate, empower, and create a space where women feel heard, supported, and proactive about their well-being.

I don’t want to see another woman in my office, devastated by a diagnosis that could have been prevented. I want to see women thriving, informed, and in control of their health.

‍

So today, let this be your wake-up call. Don’t wait. Take care of your heart—because no one else can do it for you.

As a dedicated professional, mother, partner, and friend, your days are undoubtedly packed. Amidst the hustle, it's essential to prioritize your heart health. The good news? Incorporating heart-healthy habits into your daily routine doesn't require a complete lifestyle overhaul. Small, intentional changes can make a significant impact. Let's explore practical strategies that seamlessly fit into a busy woman's life.

‍

1. Set SMART Goals for Sustainable Habits

Setting clear and achievable goals increases the likelihood of maintaining heart-healthy habits, so let’s start by laying down your foundation: 

Practical tips:

• Define Your Goals: Use the SMART criteria to set your objectives:
  
  • Specific: Clearly define the action.
  • Measurable: Ensure the goal is quantifiable.
  • Attainable: Set a realistic target.
  • Relevant: Align the goal with your health priorities.
  • Time-Bound: Specify a timeframe for achievement.
• Example: Instead of saying, "I want to exercise more," set a goal like, "I will walk for 20 minutes after work on Mondays and Wednesdays this week."
• Seek Support: Share your goals with friends, family, or a health coach to build accountability and receive encouragement.

‍

2. Incorporate Movement into Your Daily Routine

Regular physical activity strengthens your heart, boosts energy levels, and reduces stress. Even with a hectic schedule, finding ways to move is achievable.

Practical tips:

• Desk-Friendly Exercise Equipment: Consider using under-desk treadmills or stationary bike pedals to stay active during work hours. These compact devices allow you to walk or pedal while attending virtual meetings or answering emails.
• Active Breaks: Set a timer to remind yourself to stand, stretch, and take short walks throughout the day.
• Social Workouts: Combine exercise with social time by taking walks with friends or family.

‍

3. Prioritize Heart-Healthy Nutrition

A balanced diet rich in nutrients supports heart health, maintains healthy cholesterol levels, and provides sustained energy.

Practical tips:

• Meal Prepping with Friends: Organize meal prep sessions with friends where each person prepares a large batch of a heart-healthy dish to share. This approach saves so much time and adds variety to your meals.
• Stock Up on Healthy Snacks: Keep your kitchen filled with nutritious options like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains to make healthy choices convenient. When you catch yourself investigating your kitchen for a snack, make it easy on yourself to select a heart healthy bite! 
• Simple Recipes: Focus on easy-to-prepare meals that incorporate lean proteins, whole grains, and plenty of vegetables.

‍

4. Manage Stress Effectively

Chronic stress can negatively impact heart health, leading to increased blood pressure and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Practical tips:

• Mindfulness Practices: Incorporate activities like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga into your routine to promote relaxation.
• Hobbies and Leisure: Dedicate time to activities you enjoy, such as reading, gardening, or crafting, to provide a mental break from daily stresses.
• Social Connections: Engage with friends and family regularly to build a support network that can help you navigate stressful times.

‍

5. Ensure Adequate Sleep

Quality sleep is vital for heart health, cognitive function, and overall well-being.

Practical tips:

• Consistent Schedule: Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
• Create a Restful Environment: Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet.
• Limit Screen Time: Reduce exposure to screens at least an hour before bedtime to improve sleep quality.

‍

6. Regular Health Monitoring

Keeping track of health metrics allows for early detection of potential issues and informed decision-making.

Practical tips:

• Routine Check-Ups: Schedule regular visits with your healthcare provider to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar.
• Use Technology: Utilize health apps or wearable devices to track physical activity, heart rate, and sleep patterns.
• Stay Informed: Educate yourself about heart health to make empowered choices regarding your well-being.

BOSTON, January 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Systole Health, a tech-enabled group virtual care solution for women's heart health, today announced $2M in pre-seed funding. The round was led by Benchstrength, with participation from January Ventures, J Ventures, and Tom X. Lee, founder of One Medical.

Systole Health delivers comprehensive care for women's heart health through innovative group virtual visits. Women at risk for heart disease meet with a doctor and health coach to receive personalized coaching, medical care, and a supportive community in hour-long appointments. This program is a proven, yet underused, group care model that offers women the opportunity to ask questions and get expert care and support. By comparison, the current average doctor-patient visit is 18 minutes, primarily focused on medication management, an issue compounded by physician shortages and accessibility challenges as patient volumes continue to increase. Systole Health is available directly to consumers and will become available through partnering health systems as the program expands.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, with 90% of women having at least one heart disease risk factor and 45% already carrying diagnoses of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite these alarming statistics, women are underdiagnosed and undertreated for heart disease risk factors.

"When we look at investments, we prioritize new companies that address an unmet need with a novel approach, brought to us by founders who have both vision and a distinct ability to execute," said Ken Chenault Jr., Managing Partner at Benchstrength. "Systole Health meets all these criteria with its innovative group virtual care model, which leverages technology to provide scalable and sustainable solutions for women’s heart health. Their patient-first approach, designed specifically to address systemic gaps in cardiovascular care for women, is transformative, and we’re excited to support their mission to deliver meaningful outcomes and expand access to quality care."

Dr. Simin Lee, CEO and founder of Systole Health notes, "Our mission is to bend the curve of heart disease in women by introducing a new care model that prioritizes outcomes and connection. As a cardiologist, I have witnessed firsthand the struggles women face in managing their heart health. Our solution is built for women by women, addressing the unique challenges we experience and expanding access to the kind of care we want for our mothers, aunts, sisters, and daughters."

Lauren McConnell, COO and founder of Systole Health adds, “We know there’s a lot of women looking for help with their heart health, without the option to get into their existing providers as much as they need to. I’m excited to build a supportive, community-driven space for those women, extending their lives and by extension - improving the health of their families.”

Systole Health plans to utilize the funding to expand into key markets throughout the United States and build its early clinical team. The company is also focused on forming strategic partnerships with healthcare providers and payers to further integrate its services into the broader healthcare ecosystem. Currently, the program is being piloted and serving patients in Massachusetts and Florida. 

"At Systole Health, we've seen how this model can do more with less and unlock the power of community for our patients," says Dr. Lee. "This is exactly the kind of solution needed to truly move the needle for women’s heart health.”

As your doctor and advocate for better heart health, I need to share something important: heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women. It kills more women than all cancers combined. 

This reality is alarming, but there’s good news. Many of the risks we face can be prevented or managed through thoughtful, intentional lifestyle changes.

As we begin 2025, I invite you to make your heart health a priority—not just for today but for the vibrant years ahead. These five resolutions are a powerful way to start.

‍

1. Schedule a Heart Health Check-Up

Why it matters:

Many women are living with silent risks—high blood pressure, cholesterol, or elevated blood sugar—without knowing it. Regular check-ups are your first line of defense. They uncover potential problems early, giving you the chance to address them before they lead to serious complications. 

What to do:

• Schedule time with your primary care doctor or cardiologist.
• Review your personal and family history of heart disease.
• Ask for a thorough heart health screening, including:
  • Blood pressure check.
  • Cholesterol panel, which includes total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
  • Blood sugar check (like Hemoglobin A1C.)
  • Additional markers like lipoprotein(a) (if you have a strong family history) and CRP.

‍

2. Move Your Body Daily

Why it matters:

Your heart is a muscle, and it needs movement to stay strong. Regular activity lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol levels, enhances insulin sensitivity, and promotes overall well-being. The best part? Even brief efforts add up! 👟

What to do:

• Commit to 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly—try brisk walking, dancing, or yoga.
  • That’s just 30 minutes per day during the workweek or 22.7 minutes per day every day!
  •  If you’re not sure if you are working “hard” enough, just use the “talk test.”  The kind of movement that keeps heart disease at bay can be done while holding a conversation.
• Incorporate strength training for added cardiovascular benefits.
  • The American Heart Association recommends exercising each muscle group at least 2 times per week with at least 2 days of rest between workouts.  This helps increase muscle mass, increasing your body’s ability to burn calories and maintain a healthy weight even at rest. 
• Use a fitness tracker or app to celebrate progress and stay motivated.
  • You can track steps (as few as 2,800 steps per day significantly reduces heart disease risk, with additional benefits for more movement) or measures of cardiorespiratory fitness (like VO2 max, which is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality) 

‍

3. Eat for a Healthy Heart

Why it matters:

What you eat directly impacts your heart’s health. A balanced, heart-healthy diet reduces inflammation, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure, protecting you from preventable risks.

What to do:

• Add more of these to your plate:
  • Bright, colorful fruits and vegetables.
  • Whole grains like oats and quinoa.
  • Lean proteins such as fish, legumes, and tofu.
  • Healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and olive oil.
• Cut back on:
  • Processed snacks.
  • Sugary beverages.
  • Foods high in sodium.
  • Animal-based protein (not just red meat but also poultry, eggs, and cheese).
• Explore the Mediterranean and DASH Diets as sustainable, heart-friendly (and delicious!) approaches to eating.

‍

4. Manage Stress Effectively

Why it matters:

Chronic stress doesn’t just weigh on your mind, it also strains your heart. High stress levels can raise blood pressure, increase inflammation, and lead to harmful habits like overeating or neglecting exercise.

What to do:

• Incorporate mindfulness into your routine:  Try meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
• Prioritize sleep by creating calming bedtime rituals, removing distracting devices from the bedroom, and sticking to a consistent schedule.
• Surround yourself with supportive relationships; connection is a natural stress reliever.

‍

5. Know Your Numbers and Set Goals

Why it matters:

Tracking your heart health metrics empowers you to stay on top of your well-being. These numbers are your personal guideposts, helping you identify areas to improve and celebrating progress along the way.

What to do:

• Regularly check these key metrics:
  • Blood pressure: Aim for under 120/80 mmHg.
  • Cholesterol levels: Aim for “ALARA” (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), with a goal to keep LDL cholesterol under 70 mg/dL if you have already had a heart attack or stroke.
  • Blood sugar: Maintain fasting glucose below 100 mg/dL and hemoglobin A1c < 5.7%.
• Set small, achievable goals like walking 10,000 steps a day or reducing sodium intake.

‍

Pregnancy complications like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes don’t just affect women short-term; they can lead to long-term risks for heart disease. Women who experience these complications should take proactive steps to protect their heart health.

Key Pregnancy Complications to Watch For:

• Preeclampsia: This condition, marked by high blood pressure during pregnancy, can increase your risk of heart attacks and strokes later in life.
• Gestational Diabetes: Women with gestational diabetes are at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes, which significantly raises heart disease risk.
• Preterm Birth: Studies show that preterm delivery can be linked to long-term heart disease risk for mothers.

‍

What You Can Do:

• Regular Heart Health Screenings: If you had complications during pregnancy, regular heart health check-ups are crucial.
• Healthy Lifestyle Changes: Focus on heart-healthy habits, such as eating well, exercising, and reducing stress.
• Monitor Your Blood Pressure: If you experienced preeclampsia, keeping track of your blood pressure is essential.

At Systole Health, we offer specialized care for women with a history of pregnancy complications. Contact us to learn how you can protect your heart and manage your health.

Women often put others’ needs before their own, which is why having a supportive community can make all the difference in managing heart health. Research shows that women who have access to peer support and shared medical experiences are more likely to succeed in making heart-healthy changes.

Why Community Care Works:

• Emotional Support: A strong support system helps women stay motivated and accountable when it comes to maintaining heart-healthy habits.
• Shared Learning: When women come together, they share valuable experiences and strategies for managing their heart health.
• Improved Outcomes: Studies show that women who participate in group care see better results, such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

At Systole Health, we understand the importance of community. Our virtual group care sessions provide a space for women to connect, learn, and improve their heart health together. Join us today and experience the power of community in your heart health journey.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, yet many are unaware of their personal risk factors. The good news is that by prioritizing your heart health today, you can prevent serious problems like heart attacks and strokes down the road.

A recent 30-year study of nearly 28,000 women highlighted three key risk factors for heart disease: inflammation, LDL cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a). These biomarkers can signal heart risks years before symptoms appear, making early detection and prevention essential.

‍

Understanding Key Heart Disease Risk Factors:

• Inflammation (C-Reactive Protein or CRP): Chronic inflammation can increase the risk of heart disease. Monitoring CRP levels helps detect potential risks early.
• LDL Cholesterol: Often called "bad" cholesterol, elevated LDL levels can lead to blockages in arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• Lipoprotein(a): This genetically determined cholesterol is harder to control but is a key risk factor for long-term heart health.

These three numbers aren’t just data points—they’re an early warning system for your heart health. In the study, women with elevated levels were significantly more likely to experience heart disease and stroke later in life.

At Systole Health, we offer supportive programs to help women protect their hearts through proactive care and lifestyle changes. Join our group sessions today to start prioritizing your heart health.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, and the risk is even higher for those with obesity. In a groundbreaking decision, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Wegovy, a GLP-1 (semaglutide) to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke in adults with cardiovascular disease who are overweight or obese.

This approval marks a major advancement for women’s health, offering a new way to protect the heart while addressing weight management. But how do GLP-1s work, and is it right for you? Here’s what you need to know.

How Does GLP-1 Help Prevent Heart Disease?

GLP-1s were initially developed to manage type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels and reducing appetite. However, recent studies have revealed that it also offers powerful cardioprotective benefits for people at high risk of heart disease, particularly those with obesity.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces Risk of Major Cardiovascular Events: In a clinical trial of over 17,600 participants, GLP-1 significantly reduced the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular death by 20%. Those taking GLP-1 saw better outcomes compared to those taking a placebo, who only received standard care.
• Promotes Weight Loss: Obesity is one of the most significant risk factors for heart disease. By promoting sustainable weight loss, GLP-1 reduces the strain on your heart and helps lower blood pressure, making it easier to manage other risk factors like cholesterol.
• Improves Cholesterol Levels and Blood Pressure: GLP-1 helps improve LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while also lowering blood pressure—two major contributors to heart disease.

At Systole Health, we offer personalized virtual care that helps women understand their risk factors, explore treatment options like GLP-1s, and make lifestyle changes that protect their heart. Whether you’re managing weight loss, high blood pressure, or cholesterol, our expert team and supportive community are here to help you take control of your heart health.

Ready to take the next step in protecting your heart? Join one of our virtual group sessions at Systole Health to learn how treatments like GLP-1s and heart-healthy lifestyle changes can help you reduce your cardiovascular risk. Don’t wait for a health scare—start protecting your heart today.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, yet many women overlook its early warning signs. Often mistaken for less serious conditions, these symptoms can be life-saving clues if recognized early. So, what should you watch for?

Five Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore:

1. Chest Pain or Discomfort: This can feel like pressure, tightness, or squeezing in your chest. It may not always be severe, but don’t dismiss it.
2. Shortness of Breath: If you’re struggling to catch your breath, even while at rest, this could signal a heart problem.
3. Nausea, Dizziness, or Lightheadedness: Many women experience these symptoms during a heart attack instead of chest pain.
4. Pain in the Neck, Jaw, or Upper Back: Unexplained discomfort in these areas, especially if it comes on suddenly, could be heart-related.
5. Extreme Fatigue: If you feel exhausted even after minimal exertion, this may be your heart’s way of signaling a problem.

Don’t wait to seek help. If you experience any of these signs, contact a healthcare provider immediately.

At Systole Health, we help women stay proactive about their heart health. Join one of our virtual sessions to learn how to protect your heart and recognize the early signs of heart disease.

We all know stress can be overwhelming, but did you know that chronic stress can take a serious toll on your heart? For women, stress often flies under the radar, but it has real implications for heart disease.

How Stress Impacts Your Heart:

• Increased Blood Pressure: Stress hormones like adrenaline spike your blood pressure, putting a strain on your heart.
• Promotes Inflammation: Stress contributes to chronic inflammation, a leading cause of heart disease.
• Unhealthy Coping Habits: Stress can lead to unhealthy behaviors like overeating, smoking, or avoiding exercise, all of which increase heart disease risk.

Simple Ways to Manage Stress:

• Exercise Regularly: Even 30 minutes a day can drastically reduce stress and improve heart health.
• Practice Mindfulness: Techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation can lower stress levels and calm your heart.
• Stay Connected: A strong support system helps you handle life’s pressures and protect your heart.

At Systole Health, we offer tailored strategies for managing stress and improving heart health. Connect with us today to learn how to protect your heart and manage stress more effectively.

High blood pressure affects millions of women, especially after menopause, yet it’s often underestimated. Known as the "silent killer," high blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.

Why Hypertension Hits Women Harder:

• Postmenopausal Risks: Hormonal changes after menopause can increase blood pressure, leading to heart disease and stroke.
• Hidden Symptoms: Many women don’t know they have high blood pressure until it leads to serious complications.
• Stroke Risk: Women are more likely to experience severe strokes due to high blood pressure, making prevention and early management crucial.

How to Take Control:

• Healthy Diet: Focus on low-sodium, heart-healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Exercise Regularly: Physical activity can help keep blood pressure in check.
• Monitor Your Blood Pressure: Regular screenings are essential, especially for women over 40.

High blood pressure is preventable and manageable. At Systole Health, we offer personalized care plans to help women keep their blood pressure in check. Join our programs to take charge of your heart health today.
