Heart disease isn’t just a “man’s disease.” It’s the #1 cause of death in women.
• 1 in 3 women affected • Kills more women than all cancers combined • 7× more deaths than breast cancer
Yet women’s symptoms are often under-recognized and underdiagnosed.
Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women around the world. 💜
This International Women’s Day, let us continue to uplift one another, champion women’s health, and create opportunities for women to thrive.
Happy International Women’s Day
