Women's Cardiovascular Disease Requires A Comprehensive Translational Approach

Stephen Anderson

High rates of morbidity and mortality are linked to heart disease in women. While many of the underlying causes of cardiovascular disease are the same for both sexes, women are more likely than men to die from coronary heart disease, have a higher rate of sudden cardiac death without symptoms, and are more likely to die from myocardial infarction than men. Although efforts to identify preventive measures have increased in recent years, the translation of information from epidemiological studies and clinical trials remains incomplete, particularly for women. The Clinical and Translational Science Award program, which was just launched by the National Institutes of Health, provides opportunities to fill in these gaps and is a one-of-a-kind chance to train a new generation of researchers who are familiar with important issues pertaining to women's cardiovascular health.
