What everyone needs to know about women and heart disease.

• Heart disease is under-studied, under-diagnosed and under-treated in women.
• It is the number one killer of women over 35 worldwide, accounting for more deaths every year than all cancers combined.
• Better understand how to prevent women’s heart disease and ways to develop a heart healthy lifestyle.
• We welcome men & women of all ages and all cultures
