Meet Hester den Ruijter, Professor of Cardiovascular disease in women. Her aim is to translate knowledge from experimental research to the patient. In women, the diagnosis of heart disease is a problem. Most available diagnostics for heart disease have been tested in men and directly translated to women.

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of death for women. On a daily basis no less than 57 women die! That is more than 2 women per hour. If we don't do anything about that, that number will increase. It has to stop!
