Why this Doctor is Sounding the Red Alert for Women’s Hearts

Lire la vidéo

Just three years ago, France 5 broadcast a health investigation on women’s hearts. During the program, Prof. Claire Mounier-Vehier, MD, sounded the alarm: women are on the front lines of cardiovascular events and they don’t even know it. This show has already helped save many lives, raising awareness among women and encouraging them to get screened. This is still current news, which highlights the importance of continuing this work through the Women’s Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation (Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes). It’s even more important during this post-lockdown period that’s been filled with stress brought on by the uncertainty we’re facing. Take care of yourself now before it’s too late!
