OUR PEOPLE, OUR MISSION Global Health eMagazine January 2023 Perspective Highlights Women’s Health Education Section Editor: Sarah Cordisco, RN Staff Nurse at the University of Vermont Calling for Writers Written by Catherine Winkler and Sarah Cordisco Reflections Innovation and Technology Nursing Division Women’s Health Education Global Local Art to Remind Us of Who We Can Be Article of the Month Video of the Month Our Beautiful Planet Welcome Congratulations Among the Letters As we ring in the new year, it is important to have new ideas and new topics brought to our attention and to have new perspectives and views shown to us. To do this, I would like to open this column for other women and new writers to submit articles about issues and topics they feel are important. As our societal norms and beliefs are different in each culture and country, providing a space for new voices can bring to light issues we had not thought about. It also allows us to see a new perspective on issues we may have been aware of. New perspectives can provide valuable information and change the thoughts and assumptions we previously had. I am calling for readers to reach out and send in articles on topics that they are affected by or are passionate about that relate to women’s health or women’s issues. If you would like to write, please send me an email at Sarah.cordisco@ gmail.com and I would be happy to provide you with more information and answer any questions!

II: Background/Justification Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an overarching term used to describe a series of problems related to the heart and blood vessels (WHO, 2021). Many of these conditions are built up over time due to a variety of factors, especially atherosclerosis–a process in which plaque builds up in the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart (AHA, 2017). Although there are many preventative as well as interventional measures in modern-day medicine which reduce the risk and damage from CVD, it is still the leading cause of death globally (WHO, 2021).
