Based
on a recent survey, three-quarters of Canadian women don't know how
certain diseases and conditions affect them differently from men. 

  

Most
women can't identify the symptoms they might experience during a heart
attack. Most younger women don't know that they're experiencing the
biggest rise in diabetes and non-melanoma skin cancer. And most women don't
know that they might be taking medication tested predominately on men. 

  

Women's
College Hospital is pleased to present Dr.
Virginia Miller, renowned scientist and expert in the area of sex-based
differences in cardiovascular disease. Her message is clear: One-size does not
fit all when it comes to certain diseases - like heart disease,
osteoporosis, stroke and Alzheimer's - and their treatments.
Knowing about symptoms, medications and prevention strategies can make all the difference
to the health of women - and their daughters .
