“Cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer of women —
yet many are unaware of their own risk factors, and how to manage them.”
- Nisha Jhalani, MD
Director, CRF Women’s Heart Health Initiative
The CRF Women’s Heart Health Initiative was founded to help reduce gender disparity in cardiovascular care using a two-pronged approach:
advocating for increased female representation in clinical trials and raising awareness about women and heart disease through Mini Med School educational seminars.
