It is responsible for significant morbidity and reduced quality of life. The misconception that men are primarily affected perpetuates the prevalence and impact of heart disease in women.
HEARTe15: Women’s Heart Health identifies heart disease symptoms and risks for women, outlines sex related differences in presentation, and covers management of heart disease in women of all ages.
