Join the ABHI online to learn more about how cardiovascular disease affects women and how to raise awareness to promote heart health.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 35% of deaths in women each year (*World Heart Foundation) – more than all cancers combined. Yet, CVD in women continues to be seriously understudied, under-recognised, under-diagnosed and under-treated.

This disparity is often driven by misconceptions, including the widespread belief that CVD primarily affects men. A key factor is the persistent under-representation of women in clinical trials, leading to limited awareness, among both female patients and healthcare professionals, of sex-specific symptoms and presentations of CVD.

This panel will explore how we can urgently improve the understanding of CVD in women, both among health professionals and the general public.

Confirmed speakers include:

• Dr Nina Wilson – Clinical Advisor, ABHI
• Dr Partho Sengupta – Rutger Professor and Chief of Cardiology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and University Hospital, USA
• Dr Bejal Pandya – Congenital Cardiologist and Clinical Director of Specialised Cardiology at Barts Heart Centre, London
