Women's Cardiovascular Symposium

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​4th Annual Women’s Cardiovascular Symposium​​

With cardiovascular disease remaining the leading cause of death for women in the United States, morbidity and mortality rates continue to rise despite medical advances and public health awareness campaigns. Persistent knowledge gaps in sex-specific risk factors and differences in clinical presentation often lead to delayed care. Even when women seek medical attention, they are frequently misdiagnosed or undertreated.

To address these alarming disparities, The Women’s Heart Center at The Christ Hospital established the Women’s Cardiovascular Symposium, offering continuing medical education for physicians and healthcare professionals managing cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women. This symposium focuses on advancing sex-specific risk assessments and evidence-based strategies to improve clinical outcomes and bridge the care gap for women with or at risk of CVD. As the only educational program in the Midwest focused on sex- and gender-specific cardiovascular differences, it remains an essential resource for healthcare providers.

This year, we are proud and excited to collaborate​ with Mass General Brigham, further expanding the symposium’s impact and reinforcing our mission to transform women’s heart health. ​On behalf of The Christ Hospital and Mass General Brigham, we invite you to join us for the 4th Annual Women’s Cardiovascular Symposium, held on Friday, October 3, 2025, in beautiful Cincinnati, Ohio. We look forward to seeing you there!​
