Available in English and Spanish, this e-newsletter separates fact from fiction on over 40 heart topics.
Texas Heart Institute (THI) conducts research through clinical trials as part of our mission to improve heart health. The trials conducted at THI are designed to test the safety and effectiveness of innovative new treatments and medications for patients.
Grand Rounds provides a weekly opportunity to learn from leading medical and surgical experts, sharing the latest advancements and innovation in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Our progress would not be possible without our donor community. Help support our mission by giving today.
Gaps in prevention and diagnosis of heart and vascular disease in women exist for many reasons. Multiple challenges include recognizing unique symptoms, performing effective diagnostic testing, modifying patients’ lifestyle behaviors, and recognizing that disease may progress differently in women compared to men. Education must continue among the providers who care for women. This video library includes presentations by the Annual Women’s Heart & Vascular Symposium faculty who share insights into current research, guidelines and outcomes.
With your support, the Texas Heart Institute is furthering research on women’s heart health and pushing the boundaries of discovery to impact the lives of millions of women around the world today suffering from heart and vascular disease.

Menapause vs Manopause
Among the greatest threats to women as they age are cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD). Over 43 million women in the US have some form of CVD and an estimated 6.6 million women are living with CHD. Public awareness is improving but is far from widespread in women of all ages. Dr. Stephanie Coulter kicked off the Annual Women’s Heart & Vascular Symposium with a review of the rise and fall of estrogen therapy and her concerns about testosterone for manopause following the same historic fate.
