The future of
women’s health
is heart health.

In the spirit of International Womens Day, we’re addressing a stark reality about women’s heart health. New alarming research from the American Heart Association estimates that 6 in 10 women will develop cardiovascular disease over the next 25 years, and it will show up at younger ages.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in women, but it’s still underrecognized and underdiagnosed. We need informed prevention strategies and management pathways that address how heart disease presents and progresses in women.

Today we reaffirm our commitment to accessible cardiovascular care for women everywhere and urge women to be proactive with their heart care. 💪❤️
