CVD is the #1 killer of women. To change that, we need more women in cardiology & research, as well as systemic change

We join @worldheart.org in urging governments to act & commit to national heart health plans

A quote from Borjana Pervan, Chief Operations Officer at the World Heart Federation: The World Heart Federation is proud to join forces with Women As One and the European Society of Cardiology for RISE @ ESC Congress 2025. To change the future of cardiology, we must change who gets to be part of it. You can’t be what you can’t see β€” we need more women in cardiology, leading, mentoring, and caring for and treating women. Representation leads to stronger care and better outcomes for everyone. This is central to WHF’s mission: advancing cardiovascular health for everyone, everywhere.
