The Truth about Women’s Heart Health

• Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women in the United States and most of the world.
• Every year since 1984, more women than men have died of cardiovascular disease. 
• The symptoms of a heart attack can be very different in men and women.
• Up until the 1980s, most medical research was conducted only in males, and today, only 20% of medical research is performed using females.

Together, We Can Change the Story for Women!  

The UCLA Women's Cardiovascular Center offers a unique program specifically focused on promoting and sustaining cardiovascular health in all women. We are dedicated to educating women about heart health and preventing cardiovascular disease, engaging in groundbreaking research focused on and driven by women, and providing cutting-edge clinical care to women living with heart disease. 

We take a holistic approach towards healing and the promotion of health for women.  Through our outreach and community events, we highlight the importance of regular physical activity, a healthy diet, mindfulness and other stress relieving options for overall health and wellbeing.

We invite all women to take our motto to heart and help us to spread the word about these simple keys to maintaining and improving cardiovascular health:

Move frequently…Eat thoughtfully…Connect deeply...

Help us Expand Our Reach

You can help prevent heart disease and improve women’s cardiovascular health!  A gift of any amount to the UCLA Women's Cardiovascular Center will help us to expand our reach in the coming year.  With your support, we will be able to educate more women about their risk factors, promote proven strategies to improve health, address health disparities affecting women, and reduce unnecessary deaths from cardiovascular diseases.  Thank you for your support!
