Beth Short, APRN-CNP, DNP: Many patients have subtle symptoms that they want to blow off as oh, I think I have a little reflux or I have just this little twinge of chest pain, or I'm short of breath, or I have a pain between my shoulder blades. Everyone presents differently, even women. So if you have multiple risk factors and you have a strong family history, you should be evaluated for heart disease.

Some symptoms that women may have that they may not feel is heart related would be fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, shoulder pain. So any of these can be a symptom of possible underlying coronary artery disease. These are the patients that we see at the Heart Express Care Clinic.
