Coronary heart disease is one of the biggest killers of women in the UK. Yet, it’s still seen as a man’s disease.
Together, we can save more women’s lives and put an end to the inequalities women face in care and treatment. That’s why we are campaigning for change to save the lives of mothers and daughters everywhere.
Heart disease is not just a man’s disease, women are dying needlessly every day.
Heart disease is HER disease.
Each year 23,000 women die from coronary heart disease in the UK. Help us save every one of them.

The belief that heart disease primarily affects men is a dangerous misconception. This leads to delayed diagnosis and treatment for women. By breaking down these myths we want to ensure women understand their risks and seek timely potentially life-saving care.
Addressing the gender gap means we can increase female representation in clinical trials, educating healthcare providers on gender-specific symptoms, and empowering women to advocate for their heart health.
Many women are unaware of the risks. By educating women about these factors and promoting healthy lifestyle choices, we can empower them to take proactive steps to protect their heart health.
