The Women’s Heart & Vascular Symposium is hosted annually by Texas Heart Institute Center for Women’s Heart & Vascular Health and is published as a Special Section in the Texas Heart Institute Journal as enduring education.  The 8th Annual Women’s Heart & Vascular Symposium: Emerging Strategies to Impact Women’s Health and Longevity was held January 20, 2018 and highlighted some of the most current topics in women’s heart and vascular health today.

“Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke affect women differently across race and ethnicity. Cultural, educational, and economic disparities further complicate prevention efforts such as screening and risk factor management, diagnosis and treatment selection, and patient compliance and cooperation.  Our Special Journal Section features relevant women focused research and offers current insights for all medical professionals caring for women today” — Dr. Stephanie Coulter, Section Editor
