The cardiovascular health of women is often neglected, with the risk of late diagnoses and not an appropriate treatment. This new statement from the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) is a ‘call to action’, recommending targeted action to reduce the burden of heart disease, stroke and peripheral arterial disease in women. The statement was published in The European Heart Journal.

Women and risk of CVD – the role of diet and lifestyle

Examining how women’s daily choices, including their diet and lifestyle, can influence the likelihood of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is crucial.

We’re looking into how what women eat and how they live can affect their heart health. The goal is to empower women with insights into how simple changes in their diet and lifestyle, such as food choices, exercise routines, and stress management, can have a significant impact on reducing the risk of CVD. It’s not just about understanding the risks; it’s about providing information that enables women to make informed decisions for a healthier heart.
