The pathway "heart, arteries and women", initiated at Lille's hospital center in 2013, was designed to improve pluridisciplinar approaches for women.

Clinical presentation of OSA in feminine patients can be misleading, and its screening seems essential, in light of its major cardiovascular impact.Show less >
