On February 13, let us support the cardiovascular health of women

On February 13, wear red to support the cardiovascular health of women!
Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of premature mortality of women in North America in the past 30 years?
That a woman has twice as much risk of dying of a infarction as a man?
That in 2019, around 32,000 women in Canada were swept away by a heart disease or a stroke, which is equivalent to 1 woman every 16 minutes.
Let’s wear red
On February 13, it’s Red Red! To support the cardiovascular health of women we invite you to wear a touch of red. Do not hesitate to share your photos on social media by identifying the boyfriend.

- chest pain
- dizziness
- fatigue
Some people have no symptoms, and heart auscultation could be the first step in screening for a valve disease.
