Coronary heart disease in women remains an understudied, underdiagnosed, and undertreated problem.
A mong the accolades most valued by a clinical cardiolo- gist is to be selected to deliver the annual James B. Herrick Lecture.This lecture honors the legacy of James Herrick as an icon for the cardiac clinician/scientist.I am enormously grateful to the Council on Clinical Cardiology for this singular recognition.My choice to address "Women and Coronary Heart Disease: A Century after Herrick" will show that this problem remains understudied, underdiagnosed, and undertreated.
