Heart disease and stroke are the #1 cause of premature death for women in Canada. Yet, two-thirds of heart disease and stroke research has focused on men. We’re changing that. |
|
|
With valued partners and donors, Heart & Stroke is funding ground-breaking research, including the innovative Networks of Excellence in Women’s Heart and/or Brain Health. The first of its kind in Canada, these research networks will address risk factors, diagnosis and treatment for conditions that are common or under-studied in women. These insights will change history. |
