Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The purpose of this study is to evaluate women's level of knowledge and health practices
regarding cardiovascular health and identify barriers to appropriate health practice.

Increasingly, gender differences in manifestation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and
myocardial infarction (MI) are being reported. Gender specific presentations of MI in
particular have contributed to underdiagnosis of cardiac events in women. Furthermore,
previous studies from the 2002 Behavioral Risk Factors Screening Surveillance demonstrated
decreased compliance with standard cardiovascular health practices in women compared to men.
We seek to validate these findings in a population of women undergoing screening mammography
and annual gynecology visit to identify current state of knowledge regarding cardiovascular
risk in women.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Women attending screening mammography and gynecology visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient refusal to participate (assessed by non-submission of the completed survey).
