In support of the Lundquist Lurie Cardiovascular Institute, we invite you to join us for the Torrance Memorial Women’s Heart Symposium. This is a CEU and CME accredited event.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in women in the United States. One in three women will die from cardiovascular diseases each year and in some racial or ethnic minorities the death rate is even higher.
The Torrance Memorial Women’s Heart Symposium will be a half-day professional conference focused on promoting comprehensive understanding of heart disease in women. Topics will include risk factors, prevention, clinical presentation, treatments and outcomes of cardiovascular disease in women, health issues during pregnancy and the increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease and maternal death.
