The Irish Heart Foundation is running a 'red alert' campaign for the month of September in which they are focusing on women's heart health. While heart disease and stroke is the leading cause of death for Irish women, awareness is low. Just over 1 in 10 women believe cardiovascular disease is the number one killer and only 1 in 5 women know that menopause is a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. More information about the disease can be found here.
RCSI Library subscribes to a number of high impact journals in the field of cardiovascular health; these include the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the European Heart Journal and Circulation. You can access these through the RCSI Library ejournal portal.
RCSI Library also has a number of books related to cardiovascular disease; these include 'Cardiovascular Medicine' (2015) by Paul Morris and 'Braunwald's Heart Disease' (2015) - the latter is available in both print and electronic versions. You can find these and more through the library catalogue.
