Many diseases affect women more than men. Particular emphasis in this presentation will focus on new treatments for heart disease, the number one killer of women in the US. Also new breakthrough work on treatments for Alzheimer's disease, stroke, dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease will be discussed. As women are generally the primary care givers in their families, these breakthrough treatments could have an important impact on them and their families.
