The info-graphic asks:

  • Did you know that more women die of heart disease than men, but women only make up 35% of patients in heart disease research
    studies?
  • Why is heart disease seen as a men’s
    disease?
  • Are all cardiovascular drugs tested on women?
  • What are the risk factors of heart disease in women?

research focus on women and heart health could be right for
you!
