Working for Women is thrilled to collaborate with ZS for an insightful discussion on Women’s Cardiovascular Health Equity. This panel will delve into the current state of women’s cardiovascular health, uncover the root causes behind existing disparities, and highlight innovative solutions within the healthcare industry and society.

For too long, cardiovascular disease has been erroneously perceived as primarily a “man’s disease,” partially due to a lack of physician training and awareness about cardiovascular risks in women. Together, we can rewrite the narrative on women’s cardiovascular health and ensure that every woman has the opportunity to lead a heart-healthy life.

During this panel discussion, Women’s Cardiovascular Health Equity, we will hear from inspiring thought leaders in women’s health to discuss the following:

• The status of women’s cardiovascular health and the underlying causes behind disparities

• Tailored health solutions for women as recognized by industry leaders to address these pressing issues in cardiovascular health
