Download practical guides and prevention tools

Download guides from this section of our website that will give you tools to actively prevent cardiovascular disease.
Use these templates to track your own blood pressure numbers as well as monitor and address your cardiovascular risk factors. Prepare for your appointment and share these tracking documents with your doctor to be an active participant in your healthcare.
You can also share the information with your pharmacist who will use it to help you better understand the medicines your doctor prescribes. At Women’s Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation (Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes), our focus is helping you anticipate cardiovascular issues and providing support so you can protect your health capital. Stay tuned for more guides on cardiovascular health and gynecardiology coming soon.

A circle that’s more in the red zone indicates a narrower “target artery,” which means you have a higher risk of cardiovascular events if you don’t get treatment and regular follow-up care. Conversely, by controlling as many of the risk factors linked with a healthy lifestyle as possible, and by taking medications in certain cases, you can quickly move into the protective green zone.
