“For a long time, doctors believed that I functioned exactly like a man’s heart. But that’s not the case.” With these words, Educœur, the mascot of the Educoeur* website, opens its new episode dedicated to women’s heart health: a major issue that is still not discussed enough.

A major health issue that remains too little understood

Cardiovascular diseases rank among the leading causes of death among women. Yet their specific characteristics remain largely underestimated, including in how risk is assessed. Unique risk factors, different symptoms, and unequal care: these are all realities that this new comic highlights, so that every woman can learn more about her own heart.

What the comic has in store for you

Through simple, lively dialogue, Educœur answers the questions we rarely ask ourselves. At what stages of life does cardiovascular risk change? Which signs should really raise a red flag? Why do some women still fall through the cracks of the medical system? An educational dive into an essential topic, without jargon or intimidating diagrams.
