2015 Women’s Cardiovasc
Overview
The leading cause of mortality for women in the United States is cardiovascular disease. More women
die from heart disease and stroke then cancer. However, most women fail to recognize cardiovascular
disease as their major health problem and thus fail to seek medical attention when faced with
symptoms and overall fail to partner with their physicians to take a proactive approach in adopting a
heart healthy lifestyle. It is also well known that cardiovascular disease and risk factors are underrecognized in women thus leading to undertreatment. Cardiovascular disease presents in women
differently and may not have the same risk factors as men. Emerging research shows that pregnancy
complications are a unique risk factor for women.
In recent times healthcare providers, policy makers and the public advocacy groups are making efforts to
improve awareness, knowledge and understanding of the gender differences present in cardiovascular
disease. Recognition of these differences requires communication of this information to healthcare
providers to inform and guide clinical care.
The 2015 Women’s Cardiovascular Symposium is intended to promote practitioner knowledge,
competence and performance in this under-recognized field. Leading national and international experts
will present major topics in cardiovascular health with a focus on gender differences. This one-day
program is geared towards practicing clinicians across multiple disciplines including: primary care
physicians, gynecologists, cardiologists, advanced practice nurses and other health care practitioners
who care for female patients. The program will provide you with the most up to date practical and
efficient strategies for improving your care for female patients, as well as an opportunity to speak with a
leading experts in women’s cardiovascular health.
