University Health’s Women's Heart Center—the first of its kind in South Texas—is filling a gap in the San Antonio-area health care community.
More women are more likely to die from a heart attack than breast cancer, which is why Dr. Ildiko Agoston, a cardiologist at University Health, founded the Women’s Comprehensive Health Institute at the Medical Arts and Research Center and later became the inaugural medical director of University Health Women’s Heart Center.
“More than 15 years ago, I knew that women needed special attention to their hearts,” Agoston said.
The women’s heart center, located in Babcock Tower II, Ste. 110 at 2833 Babcock Road, sees adult women age 18 and older for various heart diseases. Agoston said they see patients experiencing spontaneous coronary artery dissection and stress cardiomyopathy. She also said the center sees women who are going through chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer or ovarian cancer.
