The Power of Diverse Perspectives (Part 1)
Wednesday July 8, 2026 14:15 - 15:15 CEST
TBA
Description:
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women worldwide. Historically, women have been under-represented in cardiovascular research studies, leading to gaps in understanding how heart disease affects women differently than men. Specific research in women has uncovered heart diseases that are more chronic and unique risk factors for heart disease, such as hormonal changes during menopause, pregnancy-related conditions (e.g., preeclampsia), and autoimmune diseases that are more prevalent in women. This talk will give isight into how perspectives from women in research and cardiology are now changing clinical practice.
