Cardiovascular disease is now recognised as the leading cause of death among women, yet it remains widely underdiagnosed and often misunderstood.
As part of its ongoing programme, the Monaco Women Network is organising a roundtable discussion dedicated to women’s cardiovascular health, in collaboration with the Centre Cardio-Thoracique de Monaco, on Thursday, January 22 at 6:00 PM.

Four doctors from the Centre Cardio-Thoracique will take part in this discussion, sharing their expertise and perspectives on female-specific cardiovascular risks, early warning signs, prevention strategies and clinical realities:
– Dr Catherine Binet, Anesthesiologist – Intensive Care Specialist
– Dr Hélène Ceruti, Cardiologist
– Dr Ariane Truffier, Cardiologist
– Dr Camille Wehrlin, Interventional Cardiologist
Why do women so often experience different, and less recognizable, symptoms than men? Why are diagnoses delayed? Why do prevention strategies fail to account for hormonal changes across a woman’s life? And what are the cardiac conditions that affect women almost exclusively, such as “broken heart syndrome”?
At the heart (pun totally intended) of this discussion lies a fundamental principle: equity in healthcare does not mean treating everyone the same. It means adapting prevention and care strategies to each patient to offer the same chances of survival and quality of life.
The discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience, offering an opportunity for open and informative exchange.
The roundtable will take place on the top floor of the Centre Cardio-Thoracique de Monaco, with panoramic views over the Port of Monaco and the Rock. A networking cocktail will follow on the ground floor of the Centre.
The event will be held in French, with live English subtitles displayed on screen, allowing non-French speakers to follow the discussion.
An important and timely conversation aimed at raising awareness and encouraging better understanding of women’s cardiovascular health.
