Women can beat the odds of diminished quality of life or premature death due to cardiovascular diseases including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, peripheral artery disease and other diseases of the heart and circulatory system. Nearly 43 million American women live with these diseases. These diseases still affect more women than men and are responsible for nearly 40% of all deaths in American women.

Heart and vascular diseases are the greatest threat to women’s health worldwide, and most American women are unaware of their risk. Many women who have a heart attack do not know it since they are not aware that symptoms in a woman can be very different than those in men. Heart attacks are generally more severe in women than men. Additionally, the trajectory of women’s heart disease is distinct from that of men.Little study has gone into effective prevention strategies for women. Treatment guidelines are developed from the medical literature, dictating the standard of care for all patients—however, less than 25% of those enrolled in the trials are women. It is time for a focused education and research effort to elucidate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart disease in women.
