New Seminar at CC Vil·la Urània: Cardiovascular health: a gender issue
End: Wednesday, 26 February 2025 | 19:30h
On Wednesday, February 26, at 6 pm, Teresa Padró, director of the Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers research group at IR Sant Pau, will give a talk at the Vil·la Urània Civic Centre entitled ‘Cardiovascular health: a gender issue’.
The biological processes associated with cardiovascular health are not the same in men and women. It is important to bear these differences in mind, as there are specific conditions that predispose women to a higher cardiovascular risk.
In fact, cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of death among women. A better understanding of these diseases and their causes will help reduce their impact on women and eliminate the sex and gender biases that lead us to believe that cardiovascular diseases are primarily a male problem.
