Women in Tipperary are urged to sign up for a major online webinar aimed at helping them to take care of their heart health. Broadcaster Maura Derrane, 53, will lead a group of health experts during the September 29 free event, which is part of the Irish Heart Foundation’s ‘Her Heart Matters’ campaign. The event begins at 12.30pm.
The webinar will share small but impactful changes that women can make in their busy lives to minimise their risk of heart disease and stroke an estimated 4,656 women died from heart disease in 2022.
One of the webinar panellists, Maura Canning, will tell how she was a “walking time-bomb” who discovered by chance that her blood pressure was sky-high after visiting the Irish Heart Foundation’s Mobile Health Unit during a conference. The Irish Heart Foundation has developed a range of resources such as a Self-care and Wellbeing Journal and 28-day plan to support women to protect their heart.
These, along with more information about the ‘Her Heart Matters’ campaign and the webinar, can be found on irishheart.ie.
