Egan revealed that she was diagnosed earlier this year writing on Instagram, “I wanted to share that in late January I was diagnosed with Coronary heart disease.”
Egan said she chose to speak publicly about the diagnosis to raise awareness. “I’m a private person, but this seemed TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO SHARE. Especially for women.”
She said the condition was caught early. “It’s mild so far and tends to be genetic, but rare for a 44 year old woman. This could have caused the plaque to chip off and cause a fatal heart attack or stroke any time over the next 5-10 years, maybe even sooner.”
She said the experience motivated her to raise awareness. “But I couldn’t stop thinking about all the other women(and men) that might have this disease and not know it. It is under-tested and under-recognized.”
She concluded by encouraging fans to stay proactive about their health. “Let’s all band together, focus on our heart health, and live longer!!!❤️”
