WomenHeart and Bayer Join Forces to Enhance Heart Health Awareness and Education Among Women Across the U.S.

WASHINGTON , May 10 /Businesswire/ - WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, in collaboration with Bayer, is proud to announce the launch of the Understanding Her Heart: Women and Cardiovascular Disease initiative. This groundbreaking partnership aims to bolster awareness of heart disease risk factors among women, enhance accessibility to vital heart health information and resources, and mobilize women leaders to champion heart health education in their local communities and nationwide.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women in the United States, yet awareness of its prevalence and risk factors among women continues to lag. The Understanding Her Heart initiative seeks to bridge this gap by empowering women with the knowledge and tools they need, such as the Bayer Aspirin Heart Risk Assessment tool created in partnership with Huma Therapeutics Limited, to prioritize their heart health.

"At WomenHeart, we are committed to supporting and empowering women living with heart disease, as well as those at risk," said Celina Gorre, CEO of WomenHeart. "Through our partnership with Bayer and the Understanding Her Heart initiative, we aim to elevate awareness of cardiovascular disease risk factors among women and ensure that they have access to the resources and support necessary to lead heart-healthy lives."

The initiative will focus on several key objectives:

"Bayer is proud to partner with WomenHeart on the Understanding Her Heart initiative to further reinforce our mission of providing safe and effective self-care to all, especially women at greater risk of heart disease," said Trevor Thrun, Vice President of Pain, Cardiology & Dermatology, North American Consumer Health at Bayer. "Together, we are committed to empowering women to learn about their personal risk factors regarding heart health and equipping them with the knowledge and resources to lead healthier lives."
