SUMMARY:Heart to Heart: A Chat About Heart Disease Risk in Women
DESCRIPTION:Ischemic heart disease (IHD) refers to the reduced blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart\, usually caused by plaque buildup in the arteries surrounding the heart. IHD is also known as coronary artery or coronary heart disease. IHD is a leading cause of death for women in the United States\, yet there are significant awareness gaps about the impacts of IHD in women. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, IHD is the cause of death for 3.8% of women ages 15-49 years\, 9% of women ages 50-64 years\, and 12% of women 65+ years. \nStudies have identified that women experience different symptoms of IHD – one of the largest differences being that women are less likely to have chest pain\, which is commonly experienced in men. The complex relationship between risk factors and symptoms of IHD\, and sex-specific health events over the lifespan contribute to the disparities observed in the prevention\, treatment\, and outcomes of IHD between men and women. \nSWHR hosted an Instagram Live event with a cardiology and women’s health expert to discuss the prevention and treatment of IHD in women across the lifespan\, with a focus on young women.

SUMMARY:Unveiling the Hidden Burden: Gender Disparities in Obesity Exposed
DESCRIPTION:SWHR convened an interdisciplinary Obesity Policy Working Group of health care providers\, researchers\, patients and patient advocates\, and health care policy leaders for a closed\, roundtable meeting in February 2024. During the roundtable\, the Working Group discussed the impact of obesity on women’s health\, with an particular emphasis on the impact of obesity on cardiovascular disease\, health care costs\, and related health disparities. \nThe Working Group informed a call to action highlighting initiatives to address scientific and policy issues that impact women with obesity.

SUMMARY:“Can I Buy a Noun”
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Brain Fog\, Forgetfulness\, and Other Mind Lapses in Perimenopause and Menopause \nSixty percent of women report cognitive difficulties\, including “brain fog” during menopause. Many describe their struggle to retrieve common words or be as productive as they were previously. Others feel like their brain jumps from one thing to another or that they are less “sharp” because their thoughts/memories now flow more slowly. All of these symptoms intensify when people feel stressed or anxious. \nDr. Neill Epperson will speak with about the connection between the loss of estrogen during perimenopause and menopause and our cognitive functioning. She will explain how we can differentiate between brain fog/other menopausal cognitive challenges that are “normal” or not normal; how long these challenges may last; and the actions women can take to relieve them\, whether behavioral\, therapeutic\, or medicinal. If you are experiencing brain effects during perimenopause and/or menopause\, you will feel better knowing that you are not alone\, and it is “not all in your heads.” Dr. Epperson will be answering all the why-what-and-how’s of this subject – so come prepared with your questions (maybe write them down in advance?  ) \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:60 Years Later: Honoring Black Trailblazers in Health and Science at NIH
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion are hosting a hybrid panel discussion titled “60 Years Later: Honoring Black Trailblazers in Health and Science at NIH” in honor of Black History Month on Wednesday\, February 28\, at 12:00 p.m. EST. \nThe event will feature a panel discussion with multiple trailblazers in the field of health and science\, including ORWH’s first full-time director\, Vivian W. Pinn\, M.D.\, J. Taylor Harden\, Ph.D.\, RN\, Kenneth Olden\, Ph.D.\, and Nathan Stinson\, Jr.\, Ph.D.\, M.D. Join hosts for an insightful dialogue as they honor the legacy of these trailblazers and spotlight how the Civil Rights Act of 1964 influenced their personal journeys and\, generally\, careers at NIH. \nThis hybrid event will occur in the Building 10 Masur Auditorium\, NIH Main Campus and on Zoom. \n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Getting at the Heart of Needs in Women’s Heart Health
DESCRIPTION:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, heart disease—which refers to several types of heart conditions—is the leading cause of death in both women and men in the United States. Heart disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality\, and it has a great economic toll on individuals\, families\, and society. Yet\, despite the health and economic impacts of heart disease\, there are persistent challenges in the United States when it comes to research gaps in women’s heart health and in clinical care. \nThis American Heart Month\, the Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) hosted a webinar to review the burden of heart disease in women in the United States and will launch SWHR’s Heart Health Policy Agenda\, which was informed by an interdisciplinary Working Group of policy experts\, researchers\, clinicians\, and patient advocates in the fall of 2023. SWHR also shared findings from its recent exploration into ischemic heart disease as part of the SWHR Women’s Health Dashboard\, which examines national and state data to identify needs and opportunities.
