Why women’s heart health?
Heart disease is the number one killer of women worldwide and the leading cause of premature death in women in Canada. Globally, cardiovascular diseases affect 1 out of 3 women, yet women everywhere are Under-studied, Under-diagnosed, Under-treated, and Under-aware. It doesn’t have to be this way.

With the right information and action, it's possible to prevent heart disease or improve your chances of surviving it to lead a healthy life. Learn more about women’s heart health and take the first easy steps toward a healthier heart by arming you with information.
