This health information session describes what heart disease is, how it differs between men and women, what risks and symptoms are, how you can take heart health action to reduce risk and how to talk about it with health care providers.

This session is for everyone: women, their partners, other family members and anyone interested in learning more about this often- underestimated health risk.
