Women's Heart Health
Four medical societies now call for heart care at every stage
of a woman's life.
On October 26, 2026, the American Heart Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine spoke with one voice for the first time, redefining heart health for girls and women. High blood pressure runs through every stage of a woman's life, and that is exactly what NICaS helps physicians understand.
The new female life stage framework · Blood pressure runs through every stage
400,000+
US women die of heart disease and stroke each year, more than breast cancer, lung cancer and COPD combined
49% → 59%

US births involve hypertension, and the rate is rising

maternal deaths are caused by cardiovascular conditions
3.2x
higher maternal death rate for Black mothers than White mothers
~2x

Only ~60%

$282,570
first-year care for a very premature baby after preeclampsia, vs $6,013 at term
+$9,389
added cost of each preeclampsia pregnancy for employers and private plans
Where NICaS fits
- Pregnancy and postpartum: see the cause behind a mother's blood pressure; close the 6-month follow-up gap.
- Midlife and beyond: hypertension in primary care, HDI's core; most heart attacks and strokes occur here, and over 80% are preventable.
- New channel: the national Centers of Excellence for Women's Cardiovascular Care the societies are calling for.
Blood pressure runs through every stage of a woman's life. NICaS shows its cause.
NICaS is not a preeclampsia test; it shows the physician the cause behind the blood-pressure number, and the physician decides. The societies' papers are scientific statements and advisories; they do not evaluate or endorse NICaS.
