Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the most important health issue facing women and continues to be their number one cause of morbidity and mortality. Women are disproportionately affected by CVD compared with men. It is diagnosed less often and treated less aggressively in the inpatient and outpatient settings; as a result, women have poorer outcomes. It is therefore imperative that physicians take steps to screen women for the risks associated with CVD and actively education them on primary and secondary prevention.
