Women\u2019s heart health is the focus for Crosby Soroptimists\u2019 Christmas tree this year.<\/h4>\n

The annual Christmas tree festival at St Faith\u2019s Church, Great Crosby, is a showcase for local organisations. The Soroptimists have decorated their tree with red hearts, which certainly catch the eye.<\/p>\n

This theme links with club members\u2019 interest in promoting access to information about women\u2019s heart health. SI Crosby held a highly successful information event<\/a> on women\u2019s heart health last year.<\/p>\n

Crosby Soroptimists\u2019 Christmas tree this year highlights the misconception that coronary heart disease and heart attacks are \u2018men\u2019s problems\u2019.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1764610533164-19ac7f83-39be-3″ include=”7800,7803,7809,7802″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]According to the British Heart Foundation<\/a> charity: \u201c\u2026 cardiovascular disease (CVD) kills more than twice as many women in the UK as breast cancer each year. When women are at risk of CVD, evidence shows they are more likely to be misdiagnosed and receive lower quality treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The charity also states: \u201cWomen are dying\u00a0needlessly from heart attacks in the UK, or not making as good a recovery as they could, because they don’t receive the same care and treatment as men.\u201d<\/p>\n

Club president Pat Williams said: “With trustworthy information more women can understand their heart health risk, recognise symptoms and take action. So I hope our tree attracts plenty of interest!”[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1764610533174-eb1b5c88-8fda-7″ include=”7807,7804,7808,7806″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
