Description:

The Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute’s Program for Women’s Cardiovascular Health invites you to attend the 8th Annual Women’s Cardiovascular Health Symposium. This year’s emphasis will be on the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute’s 10 years of accomplishments. Key gender specific advances in a variety of areas of CVD, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, metabolic disorders, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias and heart failure will be covered. There will be ample time for participant interaction.
We extend a special invitation for cardiologists, primary care providers and OB/GYN physicians to attend this symposium since they can be the first to identify female patients at risk and positively improve their overall health. Women are still less likely to be offered proven therapies for heart disease as compared to men. This troubling statistic is an urgent call to action to change, especially since the lifetime risk of CVD in women approaches one in two women over their lifetime.
