RISE @ ESC Congress 2025 is co-hosted with our global partners, @worldheart.org & @escardio.bsky.social, to make a global impact for women in cardiology and leadership in cardiovascular health. 📅August 28, Madrid 🔗 Join us: rise.womenasone.org #LetsRISE2025 #ESCCongress #WCCardio #CardioSky
A quote from Borjana Pervan, Chief Operations Officer at the World Heart Federation: The World Heart Federation is proud to join forces with Women As One and the European Society of Cardiology for RISE @ ESC Congress 2025. To change the future of cardiology, we must change who gets to be part of it. You can’t be what you can’t see — we need more women in cardiology, leading, mentoring, and caring for and treating women. Representation leads to stronger care and better outcomes for everyone. This is central to WHF’s mission: advancing cardiovascular health for everyone, everywhere.
