When we started this project back in 2007 cardiovascular disease was, as it is still now, a ‘hot’ topic. It is a field in medicine which has received a lot of attention and funding and has therefore been extensively researched. The striking feature, which can not be found to the same degree in other fields of medicine, is that all the attention went to men. Back in 2007 only one cardiovascular conference had ever been organised for women and it focussed on how to recognise a stroke or heart attack occurring in your husband! I feel we have come a long way since then, the American Heart Association leading the way with their campaigns followed in our own country on a national level by the “Hartstichting” with their 2010 campaign. All are striving to create awareness for cardiovascular disease in women. I feel honoured to have contributed, in however small a way, to this movement and will continue to do so as we still have a lot more to do.
