Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in both men and women, yet the extent of the problem in women is frequently underestimated and, compared with men, women are less likely to be offered interventions, are less likely to be represented in clinical trials and have a worse prognosis. This article aims to examine the extent of the problem of CVD in women, summarise the… View more

The 3rd International Heart Health… View more
