Why Women’s Arteries are Sensitive to Stress

Lire la vidéo

Prof. Claire Mounier-Vehier, MD, was a guest on the RTL radio morning show and encouraged women to take care of their hearts and arteries especially during this stressful time as things begin to reopen after lockdown. There are many sources of stress, such as remote work arrangements, children to watch, and the fear of getting sick and not being able to take care of family obligations. Women’s coronary arteries are more sensitive to stress with multiplier effects related to other risk factors like a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excess weight, high blood pressure and precarious financial situations. Thank you to the journalists and media outlets who are helping to save lives together. The goal of the Women’s Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation (Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes) is to save the lives of 10,000 women in five years. Prof. Mounier-Vehier founded the organization with Thierry Drilhon on the 2020 International Day of Action for Women’s Health. The Foundation is mobilizing around three pillars: Alert – Anticipate – Act. https://www.rtl.fr/actu/bien-etre/coronavirus-les-femmes-victimes-de-sur-stress-pendant-le-confinement-estime-mounier-vehier-7800557227
