Intimate partner violence damaged Dr. Ramneek Dosanjh’s heart. But it didn’t silence her.

Thanks to the specialized care she received from the women’s heart health experts at VGH, she’s here to tell her story.

Heart disease is the leading cause of hospitalization and premature death for women in Canada. And as Dr. Dosanjh explains, intimate partner violence is a significant risk factor that people don’t talk about.
