The Influence of Sex/Gender on Cardiovascular Health

January 17, 2008 presentation by Hannah Valentine for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series.

While more men have heart disease, each year more women die from it--studies have shown that only 8% of women are aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women. Hannah Valentine, MD, professor of medicine at Stanford, discusses this and other related discrepancies.
