Though one in three women in this country has some form of heart disease, women are still not receiving the same in-hospital treatment that men do for heart attacks and as a result, may be more likely to die.

This disparity in care is a big concern. For example, women are 14% less likely than men to be treated with aspirin following a heart attack. Now more than ever, women need to understand their risk factors for heart disease and advocate for their own heart health.
