In this lecture entitled “From risk factors to acute coronary syndrome in women,” she enlightens us on the differences in cardiovascular risk between men and women. To this end, she dives into epidemiology, risk, and psychosocial factors, hormonal and lifestyle differences leading to sex disparities in CVD presentation and management.
