Women at Heart

Launched in March 2005, Women at Heart is aimed at highlighting to medical professionals the growing burden and under-appreciation of women’s heart disease and promote improved handling of women at risk of cardiovascular disease in clinical practice.

Through Women at Heart, the ESC will call for and work towards key objectives to accentuate the important issues surrounding women and CVD. With this in mind, Women at Heart will act as the springboard for a number of ESC-driven events and activities throughout the year.
