Cardiology - Women's Heart Health

Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. More than one-third of all deaths among U.S. women are due to heart disease. Ongoing research suggests that heart disease differs substantially between women and men. Now you can see one of the leaders in the field of heart health and women right in the OHSU Center for Women's Health.

Diana Rinkevich, M.D., is the director of the Heart Disease in Women Program at OHSU. Dr. Rinkevich sees patients in the Center for Women's Health on the last Wednesday of every month.
