Le Bus du Coeur in the JDD

Le Bus du Coeur in the JDD

Le Journal du Dimanche reported on the launch of the Heart Bus. In her article, Zoé Lastennet quotes The Lancet experts, who believe that cardiovascular disease in women is under-studied, under-recognized, under-diagnosed and under-treated. Dr Eleonore Hebbar, cardiologist at Lille University Hospital, points out that precariousness increases the risk of hypertension, diabetes and obesity, access to healthcare is less, dietary hygiene is poorer, and stress is more prevalent. Thierry Drilhon, co-founder of Agir pour le Coeur des Femmes, sums up the situation of these women: "mothers, wives, logisticians, they take care of everyone but themselves..." Pr Claire Mounier-Vehier insists on the importance of preventive medicine, to intervene before a cardiovascular accident occurs. This is an important article, as it positions Agir pour le Cœur des femmes in the Society section. The importance of women taking care of themselves goes far beyond the medical field, and is truly of societal importance.
