Anna talks with Dr. Nishtha Sareen, medical director of the medical heart program at Ascension St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville.   There are conditions that affect women disproportionately to men, for example microvascular disease.  She tells us that exercise and healthy eating are more likely to benefit women than men. Also, certain heart conditions can occur during and after pregnancy.  One program they've started is Wednesday work out involving chair yoga.
