Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women worldwide, with a woman dying every 16 minutes in Canada. Due to underrepresentation in research, women with heart disease are understudied, underdiagnosed, and undertreated, facing systemic health-care inequities. The Women's Cardiovascular Health Initiative (LCHI) at the Cumming School of Medicine's Libin Cardiovascular Institute focuses on transforming women’s heart health across their lifespan, by improving clinical care, research, education and through community outreach.
Your gift will help saves women's lives by supporting research to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease and enables the Libin Cardiovascular Institute to be a world leader in developing scientific evidence to fill the knowledge gaps in women’s cardiovascular health.
