Gender differences in the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular prevention will be addressed. With particular reference to cardio-metabolic syndromes, ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension, and heart failure. The course also includes a series of theoretical lessons relating to new personalized approaches to promote correct lifestyles with a view to preventing chronic non-communicable diseases.
