What: The Washington Post’s Carol Eisenberg has a deep dive into the women inventing and building products to fight heart disease. It is the number one killer of women in America, but there are still “shockingly common misdiagnoses and care delays that are among the reasons women are up to twice as likely to die of heart attacks as men.”
Why it matters: In addition to helping reduce deaths, Eisenberg profiles new devices including a bra that serves as a (washable) cardiac monitor and a “blood pressure cuff that detects the earliest signs of coronary artery disease.”
