    Today (6th September) officially launches the Irish Heart Foundation’s Her Heart Matters campaign. One in four women in Ireland die from heart disease and stroke according to the Irish Heart Foundation, which has revealed that cardiovascular disease is more prevalent among women than breast cancer. Despite this, recent research on behalf of the Irish Heart Foundation revealed that almost one-third (30%) of women do not have enough time each day to focus on their health.
