Electronic Journal Club 2012
This journal club is a part of the education component of Women's Heart Health at Stanford and serves to keep all of us informed and up to date on sex differences in cardiovascular disease.
The key feature of the articles is that they will address sex differences related to cardiovascular disease, but they can come from any discipline (ie, mental health, genetics, ob/gyn, heart failure, nutrition, etc.) Sex-specific articles will also be considered.
